Genius Pablo Picasso

Paper Summary:

This paper argues that Pablo Picasso deserves recognition as a twentieth-century genius. Specifically, the paper looks at the great artist's work and notes both its virtuosity and how it influenced later generations of talented painters. No less significantly, the paper considers the question of whether or not Picasso will still have an impact upon our culture as we proceed into the new millennium. In the final analysis, the paper contends that Picasso's artistic and technical excellence in combination with his intuitiveness as an artist has given him an imperishable place in western culture.

From the Paper:

"There have been, as one would expect, many brilliant individuals who gave invaluably to the twentieth century. However, out of all these brilliant and capable men and women only a few deserve the appellation "genius" and even fewer can be said to have successfully straddled the age of modernism and the age of pluralism. One of these geniuses, and perhaps the most profound and inscrutable, was Pablo Picasso."
