but I sincerely disagree that he was incapable of "realism". The man could draw like an angel at age 10 and a glance at some of his early work should dispel any doubts as to his capabilities.

Interesting subject. Most people say that Picasso's early work proved that he was a great draughtsman...I've looked, but have not seen any of this "great work" on display anywhere.
Not surprisingly, my personal library is a bit thin in the Picasso section. Can you direct me to someplace (on the internet perhaps?) where I could see some of this legendary early work. When presented with new information, I do (oftentimes) change my mind.
And even though I think Lucien's work is not candy to the eye (eyesore is a more appropriate word), his self-portrait (earlier post) did blow me away with the technical virtuosity of his brush! Wow.
