I am a big Picasso fan, for me he was a wonderful talent: a brave and playful man, who stood up to the establishment and authority, doing his own thing.
My mother does not like Picasso as she believes he was a misogynist who treated his various wives very badly. This is probably broadly true, and while he wasn't a loyal partner, it must have been difficult constantly being surrounded by beautiful and very available women - power corrupts...
Another friend argued she finds his paintings too dark? Well yes some of the paintings are very dark indeed but many others are wonderfully stylish, playful, sexy, moving and vibrant. But for me his art is wonderfully fresh and original, powerfully reflecting our inner lives and feelings.
