I always question why someone dislikes a particular artist's body of work; I
always ask the specific reasons why. Bill, you made a general statement without
backing it up with reasons. What is it that you dislike in Picasso's work?
Inchoate answers don't cut it with me. I think that's childish. If you're going
to go public on the Net with an opinion, have the respect for your readers to
inform them. Otherwise, you have no credibility and wasting others time.
Best,

Have we decided that the "author" is the ultimate judge of "good"? For my
money, the author/artist is simply the judge of what they like. Other than the
artificially inflated value, I wouldn't have a Picasso in my house - at least
not where it could be seen. More heresy? Or simply a member of the unwashed
masses speaking? I don't really care; no amount of praise is going to make me
like Picasso. Did he like his paintings? Don't know, don't care.
