@nataliamirochnitchenko8152 3 года назад

Wow. I was never a fan of his art...I always found it pretty grotesque (the cubism stuff). Now knowing what kind of person he was, I am appalled. THAT SAID, Simon, honest to God, my bf and I watch a lot of your shows and this was one of THE BEST presentations on a complex character I have seen. So much nuance and subtlety in your descriptions. No cheap shots at him. Nothing. Perfection, Simon! Bravo! 🙌

@christineparis5607 3 года назад

Picasso was definitely complex, like most of us, but seemed more dedicated than anyone else to following his own path no matter what. I used to wonder endlessly how such beautiful and popular women could fall for him, but several of them said that when he decided to focus his attention, he was intensely giving and living and interested in everything about them. It fits a theory I've had for a long time, that the most sexy, alluring thing anyone can do to attract someone is to be completely fascinated by them, not be fascinating, but be fascinated! Nothing is more attractive than to anyone. When is the last time anyone you knew was completely enthralled by you? For most people, it never happens. Especially today, when our attentions are constantly interrupted and divided. It's something that cannot be faked well, either. What do you think? Of course, I'm not talking about crazy obsessed people, like stalkers, etc., but regular folks...

@allencummings7564 3 года назад

Hmm, must be a fine line between genuine enthralled fascination and creepy obsession

@brocklanders3616 3 года назад

I'm struggling with that as we speak. As a guy whose been around the block, and now in his 30s. I came to the realization recently, most women who are as good looking as me. Will never be impressed with me. However an average looking girl at work, looks at me with wide eyes and a big smile when I walk into the room. And seems to hang on every word I say. I'm tempted to give it a go, because it feels good when a modern day woman he's you as something special. Which is such a rare find, basically only reserved for male celebrities.

@christineparis5607 3 года назад

@@allencummings7564 I think your right! I'm really referring to people who don't have really disturbing personality traits! I just think there is nothing so great as to be with anyone, friend, family member, spouse, etc., whom you are totally at ease with, because you KNOW, without a doubt, that they think you're great, just as you are. You don't have try hard, put on an act, be "your best self". You can just enjoy each others company in total peace. I picked my husband based on that, and it turned out great for us so far (35 years), and my best friends have been the same for decades, we don't see each other all the time, but when we do, we're totally happy and comfortable. I definitely didn't want a boyfriend or spouse that had some agenda or was trying to be successful. I didn't care about money or owning things, I just wanted someone I really never got bored with. The crazy thing is that in spite of not looking for success, my life turned out better than I could ever have imagined! I still can't believe it...

Dora Maar's story is really interesting. Picasso broke off the affair with her and she had a breakdown. She was committed to an insane asylum where she received shock therapy until the friend who introduced her to Picasso felt bad for her and got her released. She died alone, a spinster, with no children. They found millions of dollars worth of Picasso's art in her house, as he kept communicating with her, and driving her more to the brink with longing. Very sad.

A Picasso was just found, in a riverbed outside the city of Athens (Greece), wrapped in plastic, after being stolen by a builder from a museum in the city 9 years ago! The museum had zero security, except for guards who took their many cigarette breaks together so a builder working repairs there had no trouble stuffing the small painting into a bag, along with a couple of dutch masterpieces, and walk out. He never tried to sell them, and apparently, eventually tired of them and threw one away, and wrapped up the Picasso and tossed into a dry riverbed outside of town.

I never really cared for Picasso's work. It's like a person would have to know his biography and when the paintings were created in order to admire his artwork. It's hard to just walk up to one of his paintings with no prior knowledge and appreciate it for what it is. In my opinion.

I can't relate, I always liked his paintings and had heard from different sources that he wass an asshole, but only now have I learned how much of an asshole he really was. Still like the paintings though. Nice colors, nicely composed with very interesting ways of distorting and showing the things portrayed (to varying degrees, I'm talking about the highlights of course). I always thought they were intuively beautiful

My first exposure to Picasso- Potato Head: "Look, I'm Picasso!" Hamm: "I don't get it." (walks away) Potato: "You uncultured swine!...What are you looking at, you hockey puck?"

@@blueberrypirate3601 Tivoli world is a treat 😎 and benalmadena is a fun place with so much stuff to explore. Most of my friends live in torremolinos but we do hang out way to much at Puerto marina... And of course Paloma park is a awesome place to chill and smoke. Everything in the area is just such a gem. Can't wait to go back next year. 😎😎😎

Pablo Picasso's fame and fortune is the result of wealthy investors and very competent marketers

Great video, I have just one correction: Guernica wasn't even a Republican stronghold, as far as I know, but mostly civilians and had immense symbolic value to the Basques. The bombing was not about military tactics, but emotional warfare.

After having watched so many of Simon's videos from several of his channels ... I'm slowly turning into Cliff Clavin from Cheers.

Until I saw this I'd forgotten the most *insane* dream about Piscasso this week. I dreamt that it turns out that he hadn't died and was thought to be the world's oldest man. He was confused that the world thought he'd died.

Please do one on Charles Martel. I found out I'm a direct descendant of him and want to learn more about him. He had a hand in shaping Europe and arguably brought feudalism to the world.

Well done - 27 minutes of good work and achievement - this can go for 'best description/depiction of him in our time' for some time, 'very likely close to the truth everywhere'. And you mark the gains of a more free expression achieved now by and through our time as well - 'just talk and describe as it has been' ('sexuality, substances, relationship and psychology as they have been (as a function of lifespan) at/between those included - as seen from today, it's no longer 1978 or 1993, etc. in particular to the four. In core banal, but your new standard stands. Thank you.)
