I actually kind of liked Picasso's earlier stuff, that red & blue phase. I'm just not really big on cubism.
Picasso’s red and blue phase was inspired by Gauguin. Cubism was inspired by Cezanne,
In Cubism, Picasso and Braque attempted to do for form what the impressionists did for light. The latter were interested not so much in painting what they saw but in painting light, breaking it up into dots of complementary colors.
The Cubists were exploring form from multiple perspectives at the same time.
Maybe we need a philosophy of art thread.
