Pablo Picasso started with a simple face sketch on white paper, then turned it into his famous dove with just a few quick strokes.

Is the dove in the room with us? 😭💀

How Picasso simplifies an object from fully detailed to it's abstract core.

my drawing of Pablo Picasso on a beach pebble

Picasso is like, "Done. Let's price it at $15 million"

He turned the face into a dove by….. drawing wings on it. Amazing.

Pablo Picasso was an absolute genius. This clip perfectly visualizes his famous quote: "It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child." In his early days, Picasso spent years mastering flawless, realistic academic painting just so he could learn exactly how to simplify a complex figure into a few strokes of genius. ✨

What's so special about it? Looks like a kids drawing

Pablo Picasso's first self-portrait at 15 (1896) vs. last at 90 (1972).

I remember the day I learned that Picasso was a very recent person. I thought he was buddies with Michaelangelo or da Vinci or something. 😂

Picasso genius shines in that perfect shift from the detailed Tate lithograph to the iconic flying line drawing maximum meaning with minimum lines. That dove still flies on posters, tattoos and protest signs decades later. It was modeled after a Milanese pigeon (not a traditional dove) that Henri Matisse gave him as a gift.

and here i am in my silly ass thinking art should be inherently beautiful or impactful

The downfall of western civilization started when experts began to tell us Picasso’s work was worth millions.

The magic is not speed, it is reduction. Picasso turns a face into a dove because he knows which lines are essential and which are noise

There’s skill buried deep under there, but this video doesn’t show any of it. Wildly overrated artist.

Trash compared to Renaissance and Baroque paintings

People act like this is genius but my nephew could do the same thing with a crayon and a napkin

Longest running joke in art! This dude paints like a child and we are all supposed to be blown away! wtf is going on "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills"

You reckon he made complete assholes of everybody because till this day I reckon a 4 year old could do better

Looks like wings and a beak on a face.

The more I learn about Picasso, the more convinced I become that he was a fraud.

How is this famous

5 year old kids draw better come on.. i never understood why he is so overrated

picasso's entire career was figuring out how less of work you can do while still getting chuds to pay millions for it

picasso is overrated

Picasso is the most overrated fraud in art. His ugly, deformed shit looks like a drunk toddler’s meltdown. Cubism my arse, it’s just lazy garbage for pretentious snobs.

Can you guess what it is yet? He must have taught Rolf Harris to paint. What a load of garbage.

Well that's a minute I'm not getting back

I was expecting a masterpiece tho. This is overrated.

What an asshole

Actually a viral myth! Picasso doesn't turn this face into a dove. It’s spliced footage from the 1956 documentary "Le Mystère Picasso" where he draws a face and a dove separately.

I can do better

Not being funny but it’s a face with wings and a beak thing. The lad Pablo’s done well generally but he’s let himself down here.
