We should give a famous painter a show where we don’t allow them to paint, just ask for their unqualified opinions on literally anything.
Why restrict ourselves to painters? Just have random people give their view. We could call it the view. It emphasises their opinion is what matters.
It could be literally anybody, the only requirement is we do not allow them to do the thing they actually are good at.
Lol, I was having a joke about the fact we already do this with shows like the view.
Preventing painters from painting and letting these exact art-depraved artists express their opinions on things is a bad idea. That’s Literally Hitler’s origin story.
He was a tough nut to crack.
“Computers are useless, they can only give you answers.” - also Picasso.
But he was an artist. Technology was just a tool for him to make art, nothing more. I’m sure if you’d shown him an iPad with a modern sketching program on it hooked up to a dye-sub printer, he would have been at least a little intrigued. He might have disregarded it as a toy, but he also might have worked with a new medium to see what he could do.
The moon landing was 1969, less than four years before Picasso would die at the age of 91.
I’m absolutely not surprised that he didn’t care, I don’t think the actual consequences / effects of the moon landing would have been readily available for Picasso to grasp (or many other people at the time).
Plus, at that age, nobody gives a fuck about anything anyway.
Didn’t Picasso suffer from serious depression? This sounds pretty spot on for someone who does.
