Angela,

I have never liked Picasso’s paintings (a few drawings, yes) and I doubt I would like him personally–though I’m sure I’d find him very engaging to spend time with. However, I am intrigued by his work (especially the cubist elements), and I’m especially fascinated by what he thought–and others have said and written about–regarding space and perception and representation.

I think he had a very strong personality and his energy is reflected in the artworks. He was very talented and you can see it in his sketches, some fabulous drawings. I heard his black eyes were fulminating and penetrating that would make anyone tremble.

With apologies... Personal history adds insight and spice. When is knowing an artist as a person a negative? Steve:

Later, she apparently had a much more compatible marriage with Jonas Salk, living only a few miles from where I lived and worked for a number of years.

She published her 'Le Deuxi̬me Sexe' in 1949. Thus, she wrote her feminist book in the same decade in which Picasso reduced his significant other to a pair of mammary glands.
