I'm sick of Picasso and modern art, but I have to admit he was a genius.

Sick of modernist art or like modernist, pomo and contemporary art? I couldn’t imagine being sick of such broad genres. For me it would be like being sick of music from the 1900s.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If I spoke French, this might be easier. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a translation built in, but I can’t find it.

Firefox's translation function, which is on-device[1], worked well for me. You can explore the collection here[2] it seems. [1]: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/translate/ [2]: https://cep.museepicassoparis.fr/explorer/auteur/91977?field...

Unfortunately, it isn't available on all Android devices, which includes my S24U.

Sorry to be that guy, but this site is terrible to navigate as a non-French speaker. I'm not sure it would be that great as a French speaker. I've seen online archives from other Museums that do a far better job of making their exhibits more accessible.

Great resource, terrible site.

Why can't any serious museum create a good, simple image gallery? Low resolution, missing images, curatorial cruft, bad UI, dead ends.

Just show me the work. It shouldn't be so hard to use.

Yeah I'm sick of both of them. I'm not saying that nothing good ever comes of them, but that I regret the overall change and genre as a whole. I can appreciate individual pieces, and as I said I think Picasso was a genius, but I also believe he was attacking a culture I cared about and that his crew won this war and I believe society's worse off for it. I know this is an unpopular comment and am not surprised at the downvotes, I make it anyway for the sanity of people like me.
