"This isn't about me, so it is literally meaningless."
- every narcissist, daily
We should give a famous painter a show where we don't allow them to paint, just ask for their unqualified opinions on literally anything.
If only we could do this while they eat increasingly spicier sauces as the interview continues.
Ja Rule can be the host of the show! I think you've got a hit TV idea here.
Preventing painters from painting and letting these exact art-depraved artists express their opinions on things is a bad idea. That's Literally Hitler's origin story.
At the end of each episode we will allow them to paint... IF... Enough of the studio audience votes for it.
He was a tough nut to crack.
"Computers are useless, they can only give you answers." - also Picasso.
But he was an artist. Technology was just a tool for him to make art, nothing more. I'm sure if you'd shown him an iPad with a modern sketching program on it hooked up to a dye-sub printer, he would have been at least a little intrigued. He might have disregarded it as a toy, but he also might have worked with a new medium to see what he could do.
The moon landing was 1969, less than four years before Picasso would die at the age of 91.
I'm absolutely not surprised that he didn't care, I don't think the actual consequences / effects of the moon landing would have been readily available for Picasso to grasp (or many other people at the time).
Plus, at that age, nobody gives a fuck about anything anyway.
I asked my 101-year-old grandma what her favourite part about the last 100 years was, and she said "my cats". Iconic.
Yeah. At the time, the moon landing was about a dick measuring contest with Russia. I imagine Picasso saw it as just that.
Didn’t Picasso suffer from serious depression? This sounds pretty spot on for someone who does.
That just shows that the guy was really full of himself.
Read about his relationship with Matisse. It tells you a lot about what he was like.
Yeah but what does Ja Rule think?
Where’s Ja?
I wonder what would be his opinion on his art selling for millions of dollars after his death.
"That's some bullshit!"
This thread and whoever wrote that article feels more like we're forcing people to like what we like, awe at what we awe, else we will reject them.
that's tribalism.
I'm hardly the first person who thought Picasso might have been a narcissist. Did you know much about him?
I don't, and i don't really care nor mind what he think, and that's the point. I don't care what he think, i don't care what he feels about the moon landing, heck, i don't really care about what you think about him, because i can let people have their own opinion instead of trying to gatekeep thought.
You know what a narcissist will do when asked about moonlanding where they don't really care? They will agree that it's the greatest achievement of all time despite not care a bit, because narcissist will insert themselves and their opinion into everything.
Makes me wonder what Diogenes would've said.
