Just to clarify:
You think that Picasso’s style was nothing more than mental illness?
You think Picasso used no “reasoning”, and there is no “mystery” involved, because it was not intentional/skillful?
And you think everyone who likes it is just a snob?
While working in AI research, we have known that many of the similar works gets generated when you accidently wire networks differently or if network has short of schizophrenia and works on a region and then sort of randomly but still somehow similar way does something else on other region. There is no rhym or reason except that our brains gets surprised by patterns that it hadn't expected.
I feel people who appreciate this art and put down others for not seeing things are in same category as wine testers. As one of the commentor said, if you didn't knew if this was from Picaso, your level of appreciation would be much less.
