It's not that weird, a dentist is one of the few people who would have the equipment to cast gold and silver.

I had to capitalise both words bc I was so shocked when I first read about it.
Feels clickbaity.
Lmao yeah. Luckily theres no clicks or monetisation or anything here. So in this context I feel fine with it.
Am I the only one who thinks Picasso really had very little talent?
I dare not say this to anybody anymore - particularly folks in the art world - because people tend to tell me I'm a yokel who doesn't understand the finer things in "difficult" art. But really, maybe I'm a thickie, but apart from a few pieces from his blue period, most of Picasso output isn't "difficult": it's just mediocre. This is more proof of that for me.
I'm a big Picasso and cubist art fan so I can't comment on that. Not a fan of the person tho lol
Yeah the person was terrible. But people and what they produce are two different things.
I'm glad you enjoy his work. I wish it did anything for me. But if does something for you, then Picasso's output will have been worth it.
I'm not a cubist fan, but Guernica captures the chaos of civil war so well, it's insane to discount it.
Better than passing a dictatorship on to him, a là Turkmen Bassi
