HOW?
they werent distracted as much by dangling lights like we are. and he is still somewhat of an outlier, no? like, what are you doing here right now instead of drawing and suprassing this nigga? you can still do it with all the tools you have, all the guides, just gotta put the hours in. he's dead and you aint, you literally have the upper hand here.
>>7939581This is normal for kids taught since young age
>>7939581>Still regressed into "muh style" cubism kwab
Am I crazy or are his fundamentals better here than in a lot of later work
>>7939581WTF he looks like a boomer
>>7939653lmao
>>7939649no youre not crazy... but maybe he was... just checked out this guys work... schizo much? what is this beg trash? dude lost the plot and needs to lock in again
>>7939682>>7939581bro learned art reverse
>>7939653hahaunderrated comment
>>7939682>mfw
>>7939682he was being contrarian on purpose. basically a proto four chinner if you will. literally /ourguy/
>>7939711He wasn't happy about what he was. Here's from his diary:>The 'refined,' the 'rich,' the professional 'do-nothing,' the distiller of quintessence' desire only the peculiar and sensational, the eccentric, the scandalous in today's art. And I, myself, since the advent of cubism have fed these fellows what they wanted and satisfied these critics with all the ridiculous ideas that have passed through my head. The less they understood, the more they admired me! …Today, as you know, I am celebrated, I am rich. But when I am alone, I do not have the effrontery to consider myself an artist at all, not in the grand meaning of the word. … I am only a public clown, a mountebank. I have understood my time and exploited THE IMBECILITY, THE VANITY, THE GREED of my contemporaries. It is a bitter confession, this confession of mine, more painful than it may seem. But, at least, and at last, it does have the merit of being honest.
>>7939732if he actually said this thats interesting, kind of a reverse van gogh
>>7939581Isn't it obvious? He probably did draw a box for a few months and then worked through marshals anatomy course. Definitely see some Peter han dynamic sketching as well. Otherwise - I don't see any possible way he could have learned this
>>7939732>being against anime titty fotm floating in the void slop since before the internet was inventedi like his pussies ngl
>>7939732so wait, does this mean everyone fawning over his more abstract pieces is nothing but a hack similar to the taped banana faggots? i've been bamboozeled!
>>7939732fake quote
>>7939581is this the early series of 9x13"?
>>7939581He's Picasso
>>7939682I really like this one though
>>7939581this was his first painting, apparently. at the age of 8. i'm gonna say having a dad who's an art teacher that wants you to follow in his footsteps and encourages you to draw for 8+ hours a day (likely what he was doing) helps a ton
>>7939948sa>From the age of seven, Picasso received formal artistic training from his father in figure drawing and oil painting. Ruiz was a traditional academic artist and instructor, who believed that proper training required disciplined copying of the masters, and drawing the human body from plaster casts and live models. His son became preoccupied with art to the detriment of his classwork.
>>7939581he got bored of being chad so he invented cubism.Autistics in 2026 can barely draw cubes will just shortcut to aping Cubist movement so they are still intellectuals
>>7939581he was taught by his father, so he was priviledge. If picasso lived 5 seconds in my shoes he would blow his brains out.
>>7939964just paint
>>7939965I have an unbreakable trauma response to painting due to being made fun of my entire life whenever I tried.
>>7939653heh
>>7939949>disciplined copyingthe exact opposite of what crabs say... huh? who figured?
>>7939649Wasn't his whole deal that he wanted to learn to do art like a child? He peaked here and he knew it.
>>7939682He got bored with realism and wanted to do the shit he was on the African masks hanging on the wall.
>>7940016He knew realism was empty.
You're all fucking retarded because if there's one thing Picasso understood back then, it's that the market was getting saturated, so he had to stand out. Skill alone wasn't enough anymore. So he came up with his style, created his 'brand' and marketed the fuck out of himself. He died a multi millionaire. It's literally that simple. He was both an artist and an entrepreneur. He understood the art market for what it was. It's even worse nowadays, yet you all want to keep selling yourself the delusion that skill alone will get you money. If we was alive today you bet your ass he'd be running a nsfw patreon, but even that shits overrun and oversaturated now. Hell, I don't know if he'd even be doing art.
>>7940125They actually gatekept exhibitions back then, so if you didn't know the right people you couldn't get in, and you basically didn't exist. So he went out of his way to find and work with private dealers. It sound so simple and straightforward and it makes sense, yet most artists seem to think that just blindly grinding away at skills without trying to network will get you success. If you're doing this, you're literally playing the lottery. Like fuck, might as well buy a Powerball ticket everytime you make a work of art because that's literally what you're doing if you aren't advocating for yourself.
A dad who was a professional painter and painted this for him.
his cubism was just him rebelling against the strict instruction of his father...
>>7939581His dad was an artist.Many people who hate Picasso say that his dad was who made those paintings for him, or at least finished them, but I don't really buy it, and imo that's very often the opinion of people who know nothing about art or are extremely beg/ngmi.It's extremely common for very talented artists who reach a "PEAK" to start deconstructing art itself and go into abstract or very stylized art. It's a sort of rebellion against their teachings and past selves.Obviously, this doesn't mean abstract art is the "ultimate form of art", but it is the trajectory that many artists end up taking.Personally, I think all of Picasso's adult work is genuinely awful, with the exception of Guernica.Peleng (Sergey Kolesov), extremely influential digital artists who perfected the Dishonored artstyle ( I know he wasn't technically who invented it), which everyone tried to copy in the 2010s, has influenced digital art more than anyone I can think of, more than Ruan Jia even.The Valorant, Arcane (show), Deadlock, artstyles, and many other artists and companies have pretty much been influenced one way or another by Peleng's artstyle. However, if you go to his instagram and see what he's painting nowadays you will see he pretty much abandoned his old artstyle and is into abstract art now.It's an extremely common phenomenon.
