I’ve gotta say, the “1” in 14 is really easy to miss, and I was very impressed with the art of a 4 year old Picasso.
He started painting at 3.
Here’s a painting from when he was 8:
That’s damn impressive. As a grown-ass man, if you asked me to paint a horse, I wouldn’t be able to do anything close to that good.
It took me a moment lol
Same lol.
What’s the saying about learning the rules and then learning how to break them?
While not as stark a difference as Picasso I think Van Gogh is another good example of this, looking at some of his earlier works he was clearly a competent artist, but he really came into his own style later on.
There’s some discussion that the weird morphing of his style was caused by undiagnosed mental illness progressing to advanced stages when he got older.
Relatable
Wasn’t that about Van Gogh’s vision?
“It took…but a lifetime to paint like a child”
Could have also been the lead and vermillion (mercury) in the paints.
When I look at this, all I can think about is that that guy went on an LSD binge in his early 20s.
“Visiting an exhibition of children’s drawings, Picasso (according to Roland Penrose) said: “When I was their age I could draw like Raphael, but it took me a lifetime to learn to draw like them.””
I saw this quote on a display when I was at the Picasso museum in Malaga last summer
That guy really changed through the years
Man being able to draw like that in 91 is mad lol .
