Masters such as Picasso and Calder blazed new roads. Obviously it was a very important revolution. They evolved beyond mass and eliminated it. I am interested in mass. I think that the most beautiful sculptures are the Greek sculptures or the Egyptian sculptures, which are massive.
Recognition is a thing that nobody achieves completely.
Many people believe that Picasso was a very unusual case. He was accepted during his lifetime and continues so. But all become the subject of doubt. Even the greatest artist, an example being Caravaggio. Poussin said he had come into the world to murder painting.
