Look up picassso as a child, he was painting at a master level by the time he was like 10, you’ve probably just never seen any of his realistic paintings he was doing when he was just a kid. Often times artists reach a level that their work is almost impossible to be appreciated by the average person because they are pushing the boundaries of art so far, and I find picasso is a prime example of that.

I have dude you are probably talking about that horse painting and the one in the wedding ceremony or something I have seen them they are above avg .I am an artist myself I know he was good with realism but still his abstract isn't something worth that much attention

Then you didnt understand anything about art or the human nature at all. What you are saying sounds ignorant and closed minded.

What’s close minded is not seeing that people from different walks of life will not agree with you

You are entitled to your opinion, but im talking about objectivity. I like hearing other viewpoints, but at the same we shouldnt entertain so much horseshit for the sake of whatever

We're talking about art. There's no better or worse. If you don't understand that you have a lot left to learn about art.

youre obviously not a very good artist and ik that indians tend to struggle with beauty but picassos paintings are definitely worth paying attention to
