You've never been so wrong. In all of the arts there are defining moments in their history where the game is forever changed. And those moments are in no way nostalgia. They are critical links in the chain of the art's history. There was abstract painting before Picasso and then abstract painting after Picasso. There was modern classical music before Varese and then modern classical after him. There was horror writing before Lovecraft and then horror writing after him. There was electric guitar before Hendrix and then electric guitar after him. There was pop/rock albums before Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper and then...... you get the idea. Has nothing to do with nostalgia. It has to do with critical turning points in the evolution of a particular art form. To discount that stuff is just plain stupid.

That's just total bull****. He was many things including an abstract painter and artist.

And I never said anything about how good it was either. Just that Rolling Stone magazine can't talk with the Beatles dicks shoved so far down their throat.

Half a century ago, using archaic recording and studio technology, those dudes came up with **** like this? When was the last time you really listened to this stuff?

This is called Cubism. Abstract art is a separate thing, Picasso is too grounded in reality to be considered an abstract artist.

Surrealism
Franz Cline would have been a better example.
