Many famous paintings seem derivative of other famous paintings but so is the written word - after all, there are only so many symbols. I love that different artists can paint basically the same subject but their individual styles create an altogether different work of art.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-66632692903433572072010-04-06T08:31:29.788-07:002010-04-06T08:31:29.788-07:00Probably something a trained eye would pick up muc...Probably something a trained eye would pick up much better than my untrained one.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-21446923629441909902010-04-06T07:45:06.061-07:002010-04-06T07:45:06.061-07:00You should take some art history courses if you ge...You should take some art history courses if you get a chance.

The Beatles had deadlines for singles - they wrote because they had to under contract. It was the most creative 7 year output in pop history and they never repeated themselves.

I had never noticed a connection between the two paintings before, but I think you could be onto something!! I would desperately love to study art history. And oh, how I love Rubens.

Even if the stories are different there is a certian tone that comes through. Perhaps that is what you have picked up on here.

There seems to be little doubt that one influenced the other, to my mind. Each painting is a little odd to my eye. In Rubens' painting I kept wondering what brought these three ladies together, and the cubes in Picasso's painting kept shifting and reforming. What brought this on, Jo?
