how poverty stricken the youth of this age when their grandfathers were more radical than they!

>van gogh
>but not picasso

why, they are exactly the same? the impressionists set off the bomb when they finally moved away from "monkey see monkey do art", i.e. imitation of nature, the crudest and basest form of art. they began to make "impressions" of reality, thereby showing it as they really experienced it, not as it appeared empirically. van gogh ran with it and took it even further (when was a chair or a sunflower ever so truly sad?) picasso just took it further again, and so on, until warhol where it goes back to "reality".
