I've seen lots of Picasso's, and they just aren't that spectacular in real life. I mean, the Art Historical significance is one thing, and his tremendous influence is another thing that makes him great. But his paintings generally don't look so good. They don't have a lot of impact in real life.
It's kind of like seeing Greta Garbo at 85 years old, walking into a grocery store. You'd go, "Wow! That's Greta Garbo!" But she wouldn't look all that sweet. She'd just be another really old lady.
People see a Picasso and they go, "Wow! That's a Picasso! Can you imagine how much that is worth?"
But the aesthetic experience is not so intense.
