MAAN THINKS: Why is Pablo Picasso good?

[@SDW90808]

I wanted to hate this but you made me a believer. Thank you for a comprehensive, yet succinct tutorial. Impressive.

[@MaanoftheHour]

Steven Walter haha, this message made me so happy - thank you!

[@terrywbreedlove]

Pablo was so damn creative he worked and mastered so many different mediums.

[@MaanoftheHour]

Yup he so was!

[@ThejaTseikha]

Thanks for addressing those questions seriously. I have a question- How do you judge the value of a painting? Based on the skills required to paint or the resemblance to reality or the emotions it carry or the meaning behind it or anything else? Thanks.

[@johnellis955]

If you paint to any standard and study paintings of those considered masters you quickly realise the man was an absolute genius. I have copied a few recently and can tell you that he had a wicked sense of humour with hidden images, faces, spider on hat, bite out of red pop-pom in beret of portrait. One painting can take me 60 hrs until i'm satisfied - great hobby and even greater respect.

[@MaanoftheHour]

Im sure if one is to retreat any of his works (like you obviously have) they gain more respect and a better understating of what a master he was - thanks for sharing!

[@SDW90808]

Watched this again before visiting the Picasso exhibit now on display in Mérida, MX. Will do some more review before returning to go over what I missed the first time.

Wow you Sr you are Good is very refreshing to see a young man whit a clean mind thank you

Thank you for the video. You’re awesome

nendita jaswal thanks so much for the lovely comment, I’m glad you enjoyed!

If you arent adept at drawing or dont understand the difference between drawing and constructing forms that hingw more on illusions of reality as opposed to symbols of reality you will have a hard time with picasso. In general in his best works he draws to divide shapes into extraordinarily surprising but even compositions, his drawing movements are the same movements yoh would use to draw the human figure or like organic shapes. So even though its not very "realistic", his drawing style is very matured, and im not even going to take the time to talk about his cokor mixing skills and palette choices, master artist

[@MaanoftheHour]

anthony lopez I couldn’t agree with you more. The public’s issue with Picasso and other artists who don’t depict “reality” in what we think “reality” is are often criticized with the most hated line ever - “I or my kid could do that!”

Which images? when I show the art work? Let me know, feedback is important for me. I'll be making more videos like this soon so would like to know what isn't working!

@@terrywbreedlove You're right! noted for the next videos. Who are some of your fav artists anyway?

[@terrywbreedlove]

Maan of the Hour Pablo Picasso and Vincent Van Gogh are the two I most appreciate and have studied the most. Van Gogh work was so deeply emotional the Scream and Starry Night just incredible

[@swerve361]

Michelangelo is the greatest artist of all time. But Picasso created a few masterpieces and helped changed the way we saw art.

[@MaanoftheHour]

I think they were all great in their own right and changed how we perceive the world in very different ways

[@FrFrankiejr]

Excellent!

ART

[@tblack9711]

The TRUTH is he's famous because his paintings look simple and like anyone can do them and the arrogant, wealthy and pompous so called art critics who buy art can't paint and they think they can relate to him and his work. Picasso is important because he mastered his craft and threw it all out to rebel against the status quo. He created new ways of true expression that flew in the face of traditional art.

[@MaanoftheHour]

I definitely agree that Picasso reeled against the status quo in his art and many other aspects of his life.

[@michaelkralovetz1479]

unpopular opinion: Picasso is over rated.

[@tomwalsh776]

Funny, you completely ignored Cezanne, the guy who turned Picasso's head around. Picasso said, "Cezanne was the grandfather of cubism".

[@unsaturated8482]

facebook , google and instagram designed by picasso the worst thing i've ever heard.

[@MaanoftheHour]

I know it's weird, but it's true - and I didn't say designed but many aesthetics in the modern world were influenced by artists such as Picasso and Mondrian too :)

if you think picasso is good you need to check out some real art and not buy into the bulshit of commercial influence

[@prashantjadhav623]

Most of his paintings are stupid.

[@brettwitzel]

Pablo Picasso has to be the most overrated artist of all time

[@MaanoftheHour]

Hello, thanks for the comment! Yeah, a lot of people take umbrage with how much Picasso is praised as an artists. But i really think that all artists are, to a degree, overrated.

[@unsaturated8482]

yeah sure. But believe me i've seen much worse artists who sell blank white paintings for millions.

[@tblack9711]

I used to think so too until I watched several documentaries about him and read a few books on him. He is important in art because he mastered his craft and did away with all the "rules" and created true self expression through various styles like cubism and others. Most of the paintings he's famous for are praised by wealthy people who just collected art but have little to no knowledge of how to paint or draw so blame them for over hyping the more simplistic pieces.

[@MaanoftheHour]

@@tblack9711 I couldn't agree with you more. And I think this type of thinking applies to a lot of artists in any field. Their hype ends up taking away from what made them great in the first place.
