Dali on Picasso:

" He had a feel for adjectives, but few ideas. He listened to me and gratified me with answers full of modifiers. His whole brilliance lay in his skill as plagiarist and stager, as a jewel setter. When all was said and done, Picasso was a duettist. He always needed a partner:  Ingres, Delacroix, Velazquez, and others I forget. But he was a unuch, a caricaturing imitator who tore down and made fun of what he could not outdo."

Repubs want to dismantle every bit of enlightened legislation since Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt.

In answer to someone on YouTube:

I don’t define art. (impossible) I say that artwork which should be classed as fine art has technical and attractive properties which i carefully discuss in my book. As to emotions they all differ among different people. The technical key to fine painting is whether offers an illusion of three dimensions. Where paint looks like little more than un-transformed paint, I maintain as far as fine art is concerned it’s a failure. Or to put it another way, If it looks like it was done by a ten year old the artist has the problem, not the viewer.

 I finished a small pamphlet which will be offered free on Amazon. I don’t advise you to read it as it might mess with your emotions.

I make no excuses for my opinions of  Modern Art (in caps) or what should really be called Official Modern Art. So I  leave you with this defining statement. “Until the three stooges of Modern Art, Cezanne, Picasso and Matisse are re-evaluated, so called Modern Art will become ever more stupid looking and unattractive.”

Picasso is a third rate illustrator who painted big. He is among the three most praised artists who are responsible for the worst of what so-called Modern Art evolved into.

Although my book "Modern Art a Portrait of Mediocrity" strongly concentrates on the negative, I do not in any way want to convey an impression that all modern artwork is bad or in a state of decline. Art isn’t dead, what has declined is the sensibility of those who are considered our most important authorities on great art. In fact, there probably has been as much fine artwork produced during the times covered here than in other periods. My book explain the reasons why most of this work is not as yet considered “fine art.”
