Next time you're in Paris, check out the Picasso Museum. His drawings alone place him in a category quite above the considerable skills of V G. Then, take into account the complexity of Picasso's development beyond Cubism, i.e. the Blue and Pink periods. Well, V G is like the Beatles, every one likes him. He's very accessible for the masses, being one dimensional.Oh, by the way, Picasso is also generally considered one of the finest sculptors, in many mediums (clay, metal, etc). Regarding influence, he is indisputably the most important artist of the last 100 years. But, hey, some folks don't like Michelangelo...
I must say, in closing, it is outrageous to find an audiophile extoling the virtues of a gentleman who chopped off one of his hearing organs!
