That particular painting might make them reconsider.
Unless you know the history of it, it's just a mess of images. Without knowledge of history, of which .. it must be admitted .. most people younger than 30 have no idea, it's meaningless scribblings.
“But when I am alone, I do not have the effrontery to consider myself an artist at all, not in the grand old meaning of the word: Giotto, Titian, Rembrandt, Goya were great painters. I am only a public clown—a mountebank. “I have understood my time and have 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.
Pablo Picasso, 1952
And who can forget when Picasso declared a painting he did to be a forgery. “I can paint a fake Picasso as well as anybody!”
“Art is NOT necessarily beautiful.”
MODERN art is not necessarily beautiful. I’m not sure Picasso’s style of “art” is art. Yes, yes, I know so many art critics will whine at that, and I even know what he did took some skill, but it’s still crap.
