So do I. Picasso's least known work is often more appealing to me than the famous works. Seeing a documentary about him also made a difference to how I now view his work.
Looking at this work I am starting to see the real genius of Picasso.
This is a very very mature example. Certainly at his best. A show-off piece.
And for the life of me I can not understand how he actually applied the paint.
The texture of that green paint, it is amazing.
I am pretty good at applying paint, but here, Picasso just blows my mind. I don't understand his brushroke or how the hell he got those colors to blend like that.
The color placement is pure Picasso, but the colors themselves are Van Goughs.
And see, the texture of the colors? he was mimicking Van Goughs brushwork, the crazy energy, the texture of it... and somewhere along the way he perfected it.
He perfected it.
I don't know how. But all the way across the canvas Picasso is screaming 'I Love Van Gough!'.
He must have loved this canvas so much. It is so beautiful.

Love that! The colors are amazing.
Me too, I think it is the colors on this one.
Those greens and reds are so sublime.
I think the texture of it is very cool! I just want to run my fingers over it.

This work is quite simply brilliant.
I swear I don't know if it is true or not, but..
Looking at this work I would swear he was being influenced by Van Ghough at the time he painted it.
I would bet two tacos and an icecream he was studying Van Gough around about that time.
You can almost see him thinking about it on this canvas.
Van Gough. I am almost certain of it.

How in the hell can I get my colors to blend like that?
Uhhh. I dunno.
I am totally stumped.
