Agreed, I can't deny the quality of art that went into it Even though it's for clearly propaganda purposes, I say the same thing about Soviet art. They went for very hyper realistic style and I love realism. While yes the paintings of Stalin holding flowers for children are very much a propaganda machine and a cult of personality, they are high quality at least in artistic execution And it's why I do appreciate more the artistry of a nameless Soviet painter forced to make propaganda paintings than I do for Pablo Picasso

Gotta admit that statue being surrounding by garbage dumps made me laugh

@ahyarhartanto1802 again I'm in agreement in my comment in much prefer realism and romanticism over whatever the hell Pablo Picasso does and modern "art"

@funky_cartel097 If I had to say I enjoy Picasso's early works when he was in school of fine arts in A Coruña and the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando which was the equivalent of MIT for Art in Spain. I mean there is no doubt he was a prodigy, He completed his entrance exam to the first school in 1 week at age 13🤯 and I will admit the only reason he stopped doing those style of paintings was he had already mastered those techniques at such an early age and frankly he was bored with them it wasn't a challenge for him that's why he started to start to circumnavigate them or even break them entirely it's just he started getting into more on the experimental side of art , which is fine you can do that but it's just not going to please everyone everyone's aesthetics are different And I also will admit when Picasso got into his Rose period and we started to see a return of his use of the traditional styles and elements I do enjoy those as well But on the whole it's not like me to appreciate his stranger looking paintings

@funky_cartel097 Thanks, well I had to make sure I knew a little bit about Picasso when I made my original comment because I did I had to study him And again he's a quality artist just 99% of the time he's just not what I'm looking for and not what I enjoy in art Hope I didn't sound too much like a jerk
