" I have been endlessly confronted with the  final defense of Official Modern Art which roughly distills into two arguments, “I like it,” and “you “don’t understand it.” No one can refute what adds up to saying “I like it,” other than to saying, “I don’t like it.” “You don’t understand it,” is another matter. The counter arguments to that are found throughout this book."
Quote from my book, Modern Art a portrait of Mediocrity.

Picasso’s early drawing was average art student. His famous charcoal copies of sculpture are bad copies from Charles Bargue, the main book used by students at the time. Picasso was a third illustrator. 

Early on some idiot critic claimed he could draw like Raphael and all the idiots who followed repeated it. “The closest Picasso came to Raphael was when he stood near one in the museum.”

My book, "Modern Art a Portrait of Mediocrity" explains exactly why suckers pay big money for Future Garbage like childish drawing, splats and schmiers of paint or potsches of color.

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."
