Picasso makes my head hurt because he is like perspective in my dreams gone wrong and made static, with form but less physical "shape" behind them...that makes no sense. Start again.
You know that bit in one of the Madeline L'engle books where they take the children to the world where they are smooshed flat and all out of shape? Picsso does that to the stuff in my dreams, but then leaves them there. They are only outline when he is done with them, and not "solids" like I get in dream-perspective, where there's outside and inside of a building at the same time, or outside and inside a person at the same time. So it looks right except that it's too blocky and all "hollow ".
Also, I think that some of the abstract artists went too far in exploring only form and color until it became meaningless and nothing was represented anymore, not even form and color. Except maybe things like this painting of a cow that I saw over the summer that was only blocks of color, titled, "Cow," but showed the blocky movements of the cow through form and shape. That was neat.
