Happy birthday to one of the great masters, Pablo Picasso. Share images, stories, inspirations of Picasso in the comment section. It would make a nice change from all the negative comments that are left on these pages by people that obviously have nothing better to do than to go to According2g.com and leave a shitty comment.

Pablo Picasso was born on October 25, 1881. He’d be 129 today if he was still alive. Arguably, he is much more alive than a lot of living artists. Happy birthday Mr. Picasso, wherever you are.

Picasso!
If you are a fan of Picasso, you’ll want to head down to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York immediately to check out their exhibition of 300 rarely seen works by the late Spanish master. Nothing else needs to be said because either you love his works or not. I fall on the “love him” side. The exhibit runs from now until August 1, 2010.
See some more greatness from Picasso after the jump.

Modigliani
I’d like to recommend the movie “Modigliani,” if you are perusing your Netflix queue and you are hard pressed to find something interesting to see. This 2004 movie stars Andy Garcia as the Jewish artist that fell in love with his Catholic muse Jeanne in the early 1900s. I was familiar with his distinctive paintings, but I had no idea of some of the trials and tribulations he faced in his brief life. He was an alcoholic, had a famous battle with Jeanne’s parents over his religion and Pablo Picasso and Modi (as he was known) had a well-known rivalry. As he made many paintings featuring his muse Jeanne, so many of them had voids for eyes and he explained to her “I cannot paint your eyes until I know your soul.”
While the movie does mention that Modigliani died of a lung infection caused mostly by smoking and drinking, I had to look on Wikipedia to find out that 2 days after his death, Jeanne threw herself and their unborn child out of a window.
Good stuff.
