He was jealous of all other artists, especially Matisse who garnered equal respect in the art world. He was known as being a chauvinist and kind of a jerk. I think his photos and over-all legacy speak for his eye for whimsy and childish awe in beauty, but he was also someone who had been idealised in the public eye. There are some fantastic books on his life that are amazing reads. I love that you've found inspiration in an artist. You might love Marc Chagall if you like the Tao Te Ching. Chagall was utterly and completely in love with his wife. His pictures move with the ideas and notions of how things feel. They really are truly lovely. If you ever get to Paris, go to the the Musee Picasso. You will fall even more in love with his work. I think I saw some pieces there that helped me to truly understand his genius. I wish you well in your blogging.

I read it to my 2nd graders & they loved it. I'm going to put it up on my bulletin board so that everyone can read it.... it sort of embodies the principles I do my best to encourage them as I teach them each year. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts & having such great ones!

Yes, Picasso was quite an amazing person. I'm sure just like every person, he had his ups and downs, also good qualities and bad ones...but I focused on the good. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment here, come back soon! Cheers! Hey Herbert, thanks for the comment! Yes, Picasso was quite an amazing person.
