His path as a artist if you will.

That drawing doesn't have crap to do with his evolution as an artist or even represent anything. I'd bet that piece of crap was done in his later career when he became so famous that people wouldn't cash a check from him because the signature is worth more.

If that piece is worth $400,000, then it's because of morons who get art for monetary value, not those who collect it for appreciation.

He was clearly bored and just scribbling on paper. I doubt he would have ever though it'd be worth a quarter million dollars, lol.

I am not calling you an idiot because you dont like this drawing i am calling you an idiot because you think that anyone who would buy it is stupid. You are an idiot because you can see pass the actual drawing you cant see that the buyer of it wont buy it cause he finds it beautiful but because it was painted by a man who dominated Western art in the 20th century. No painter or sculptor, not even Michelangelo, had been as famous as this in his own lifetime but Picasso was a public figure of modern Artist before he was 50.

It is not drawing it is the 70 years before that that make this valuable and if you dont understand that then great but calling other people stupid because they appreciate art for what it really is make you an Idiot.

And why have you made it your personal crusade to defend it?

Let people have their own opinions.

GOSH!!
