the appreciation of art is subjective, in that there is no right or wrong but what a painting screams to you and that's the difference between the masters and the others in that the better ones will have a message inbedded there for you to read, whereas others have none. Picasso was so good cause he chose a different medium of abstraction of art to let out his messaage of beauty and meaning, so that's whats great about him, is his ability to transpose a message.

Picasso is obviously one of the greats but I prefer the works of Monet, Lautrec and Gaugin. Like everything else I suppose; it's just a matter of taste.

"My mother said to me, 'If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.' Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso."

He worked with the 4 dimension, that is time, that's why you could see a painting of front and side at the same time, because he was working with space- time in his more representative paintings.

For one thing, he was one of the pioneers of cubism. (Georges Braque, a French painter, also helped pioneer this movement.) Cubism was considered revolutionary, and still continues to influece Western art. For example, artworks that you see that consist of cut-up newspaper images and letters are influenced by cubism. Also, cubism made collages and such more popular.
Also, depending on who you ask, cubism was influenced by surrealism, and it sometimes considered the more modern interpretation of surrealism (begun by artists such as Dali.)
Hope this helps. :-)

Pablo was a fantastic and established "realist" painter...yet he choose a different path, with imagination, geometry, impressionistic nature, etc.

He started the Cubist movement, which was popular and copied by other artists. He was influential, and ahead of his time.

He simplified what we was viewing into shapes. Not everyone can do that and still make it tasteful.
