Picasso: The Artist and His Model, 1964
It is 1964: Picasso in front of a nude female, the subject he so much loved. He is now old, all that he sees is pure carnality, a chaotic pile of anatomic parts, all he has any more are his eyes and his paintbrushes: his desire remained intact, all he can do is voyeurism and imagination. Dirty old man, poor old man, the poignant depiction of the tragedy of decay.

Nice comment on Piccaso,I remember teachers talking about aesthetics and art history, how as he got older he became more elemental, child like, especially when viewed with his earlier " classical period." Sometimes the intention of high art has nothing to do about it.

Thank you for your lines: they clarify exactly the last period of creation in the life of Picasso.
