I think that not withstanding ones taste in Art, we can all agree that Picasso was a creative guy...yet what he strove for was the freedom of expression that a 5 year old has. Which I believe is about the age where they begin to fetter people with those "Foundations" of problem solving skills.

Time Magazine once published 2 drawings side by side one by a 5 year old and the other by Picasso...it was real tough to discern who drew what. The difference was that Picassos lines were more controled. He had to work at the freedom of expression that a 5 year old has...
