picasso always astounds me, I feel everything when I look at his work. a sublime master, maybe the greatest artist of the last 100 years.
I ahve seen so much of it in person, it never fails to astonish me. having seen countless reproductions in countless books, to see the original is just mindblowing.
I think, getting back to rauschenberg, that there is still a very direct thread connecting many contemporary artists with rauschenberg and what he brought to the artistic language.
