Wow. I was never a fan of his art...I always found it pretty grotesque (the cubism stuff). Now knowing what kind of person he was, I am appalled. THAT SAID, Simon, honest to God, my bf and I watch a lot of your shows and this was one of THE BEST presentations on a complex character I have seen. So much nuance and subtlety in your descriptions. No cheap shots at him. Nothing. Perfection, Simon! Bravo! 🙌
@christineparis5607 3 жыл бұрын
Picasso was definitely complex, like most of us, but seemed more dedicated than anyone else to following his own path no matter what. I used to wonder endlessly how such beautiful and popular women could fall for him, but several of them said that when he decided to focus his attention, he was intensely giving and living and interested in everything about them. It fits a theory I've had for a long time, that the most sexy, alluring thing anyone can do to attract someone is to be completely fascinated by them, not be fascinating, but be fascinated! Nothing is more attractive than to anyone. When is the last time anyone you knew was completely enthralled by you? For most people, it never happens. Especially today, when our attentions are constantly interrupted and divided. It's something that cannot be faked well, either. What do you think? Of course, I'm not talking about crazy obsessed people, like stalkers, etc., but regular folks...

I'm struggling with that as we speak. As a guy whose been around the block, and now in his 30s. I came to the realization recently, most women who are as good looking as me. Will never be impressed with me. However an average looking girl at work, looks at me with wide eyes and a big smile when I walk into the room. And seems to hang on every word I say. I'm tempted to give it a go, because it feels good when a modern day woman he's you as something special. Which is such a rare find, basically only reserved for male celebrities.

@@allencummings7564 I think your right! I'm really referring to people who don't have really disturbing personality traits! I just think there is nothing so great as to be with anyone, friend, family member, spouse, etc., whom you are totally at ease with, because you KNOW, without a doubt, that they think you're great, just as you are. You don't have try hard, put on an act, be "your best self". You can just enjoy each others company in total peace. I picked my husband based on that, and it turned out great for us so far (35 years), and my best friends have been the same for decades, we don't see each other all the time, but when we do, we're totally happy and comfortable. I definitely didn't want a boyfriend or spouse that had some agenda or was trying to be successful. I didn't care about money or owning things, I just wanted someone I really never got bored with. The crazy thing is that in spite of not looking for success, my life turned out better than I could ever have imagined! I still can't believe it...

Though a devotee of cubism, I find Picasso's legacy very conflicted. Brilliant, original technique and expression that seize one's attention, but often depicting dark, mysogynistic impulses which repel. In his case, almost impossible to "separate the art from the artist."

Dora Maar's story is really interesting. Picasso broke off the affair with her and she had a breakdown. She was committed to an insane asylum where she received shock therapy until the friend who introduced her to Picasso felt bad for her and got her released. She died alone, a spinster, with no children. They found millions of dollars worth of Picasso's art in her house, as he kept communicating with her, and driving her more to the brink with longing. Very sad.

A Picasso was just found, in a riverbed outside the city of Athens (Greece), wrapped in plastic, after being stolen by a builder from a museum in the city 9 years ago! The museum had zero security, except for guards who took their many cigarette breaks together so a builder working repairs there had no trouble stuffing the small painting into a bag, along with a couple of dutch masterpieces, and walk out. He never tried to sell them, and apparently, eventually tired of them and threw one away, and wrapped up the Picasso and tossed into a dry riverbed outside of town.

But that one i actually did really well (recreated the painting of Stravinsky upside down, without looking, all while staring at an image of the painting.

Please do one on Charles Martel. I found out I'm a direct descendant of him and want to learn more about him. He had a hand in shaping Europe and arguably brought feudalism to the world.

I don't like him, but his influence is in the work of people that I _do_ like, and I have to at least recognize that.

unlike Picasso, his work always showed an implicit sympathy and tenderness for the women he was involved with - sex workers. No-one else would have him because of his disability.

I saw some of his first paintings at a gallery and was surprised how picture perfect they were. I personally preferred them, but I can see how it might get boring if you can draw like a photo at such a young age.

Great video, I have just one correction: Guernica wasn't even a Republican stronghold, as far as I know, but mostly civilians and had immense symbolic value to the Basques. The bombing was not about military tactics, but emotional warfare.

Dear Simon, I was wondering if you could do a video on Edgar Allen Poe? He's a relative of mine, and I would love to know more about my most twisted Uncle's life...or Cousin...please tell me more! Christina

Staying on the theme of painters, a biographics on David Alfaro Siqueiros would be very interesting. The little I've read on him he lived an absolutely crazy life.

I recently came across a Picasso that I can't find in the Internet. It depicts zues, with an extended head depicting "Hera". It shows a mortal woman naked with her rear showing. After hearing what picasso was doing with his wife, I feel like Picasso was depicting himself as Zeus, and his wife as Hera!
