Art Opinion

I finished Picasso at Papercity today amid typing and the music of high heels. He went through painting phases throughout his life. There was a blue period, a rose period, a grey period. I'm still no expert but I have a better understanding of the waves of his life. There were only two occasions in Picasso's life when he left his paintbrush idle, once for six months and another for two years. From what I understand these breaks were taken in order to "purge" himself of influence. He wanted his work to be untainted by others' visions. More than just movement and color, piecing together a painting takes unique thought, insightful personal perspective. Art is beautiful yes, but it's more, it's someone's opinion, it's a philosophy.
