He had mastered realism by his mid-teens, then kept barreling forward. he was alive for a lot of different movements, and played a key role in many of them. he invented cubism along with braque, created a lot of surrealist work (inspiring a young Dali), and anticipated neo-expressionist trends in his later career.

he was prolific as fuck, too. always pumping out work and trying new media. he had that thirst that every successful artist must have- to always be creating, pushing the boundaries, and trying new things.

eh, his early work wasn't too far off. that's not really the point though, he didn't say that to brag about being as good as raphael, but to illustrate the importance and difficulty of "painting like a child", i.e. the sort of freedom that Keane discusses in the above video.

the real question is why this simple quote makes you so butthurt.

I'm not fond of Warhol's work, but Picasso and Pollock both had some excellent fucking paintings. Stay pleb.

Leyendecker, Frazetta, and the rest are all great artists too, but they're illustrators, it's a completely different world from fine art. there are plenty of realists working at the same time as picasso/warhol/pollock who have immense respect in the world of fine art.

keep parroting that conspiracy theory, repetition is almost as good as evidence.

You realize you're the only one taking your arguments seriously, right? Let me break it down for you, since you clearly have no grasp of art history or Picasso's oeuvre.

9- A decent 9 year old. Better than I was, anyway. Still no prodigy, but having an artist as a father seems to be helping.
13- His training from his father is evident here, and paying off. It's still very wonky in places though, certainly not his father's work, but the work of a student with plenty of room to improve.
16- His formal training under his father is evident, as well as his experience, however brief, at the Royal Academy of San Fernando.
19- Here we see the artist experimenting with a less realistic approach. One cannot claim it's the work of a naive artist, because Picasso is clearly following the example of El Greco, a giant in the history of Spanish art.
20- Living in Paris, he's no longer in the same country as his father. Yet he retains a firm grasp of the fundamentals, while experimenting with more recent impressionist and post-impressionist styles
22,24- In his Blue and Rose periods, he maintains a mixture of realistic and experimental approaches.
25- We begin to see the beginnings of Cubism. Picasso is drawing heavily from tribal art as well as Cezanne at this point.
29- full-blown (Analytical) Cubism.
37- While he is still mainly working in a Cubist mode, he occasionally creates more realistic paintings.
40- Picasso's neoclassical 'return to order' phase follows his Cubism.
49,61- His post-Cubist work during this era often veers into Surrealism.
89- Towards the end of his life, we begin to see premonitions of Neo-Expressionism.
