Here I quote a beloved Pelican:

“I have never dropped acid, so the vast majority of his "art" is just garbage, worth mega bucks because several art critics deems it so.

I would hang Elvis, dressed as a matador, fighting a bull, painted on black velvet before I hung a Picasso in my house like that last one above.”

Aside from the suggestion therein that those whom appreciate Picasso are acid heads, what struck me was the arrogance, not that there’s anything wrong with that. My first impulse was to post the gleeful and proud photo of the direct descendant of a card-carrying member of the infamous German National Socialist Party of the 1930’s signing the under-bonnet of my overpriced, outdated, loud and uncomfortable symbol of elitist snobbery.

But I restrain myself for obvious reasons. It would have been an example of my own ignorance, much like the quote above. I so chooe not to embarrass myself. An opinion is an opinion no matter how incorrect.

However, my self-restraint is insufficient to bar me from trying to educate someone, anyone in fact, with so much self-righteousness and pomposity.

Picasso is in many ways and considered by many people, to have been the preeminent scion of creativity in all of the history of art, including those of the cave dwellers in Lascaux through the Renaissance geniuses up to the present and all else in between.

I pray we can keep this discussion civil.
