Picasso made something unique for his time (but so did others like Matisse) when most paintings were realist or impressionist. We also have to place him in his time to understand his paintings and art and the people he interacted with but also the people who popularized his art (French art circles and actors, popular women since he was a womanizer too). He's a man who went through two world wars and some of his earlier works are genuinely interesting. I think people hate Picasso because Picasso is popular and popular things tend to get popular. Why was he so popular? Because he knew how to market himself. He's sorta like the Sakimichan of the 60s (lol).

>And who's that guy who makes all the weird ugly sculptures you see in parks and plazas?
I fucking hate that guy too but seems every city council likes to put those "experimental" ugly monstrosities in every square and roundabout.
