PICASSO AND WARHOL: MUCH MORE IN COMMON THAN WE THINK

Today Warhol and Picasso are the two artists commanding the highest prices at auction. But they have much more in common than that. Throughout their lives both had the most telling characteristic of great artists: multiples contradictions. Picasso wanted «to live like a poor guy with a lot of money» and for any Warhol quote about most subject you will also find its exact opposite. But most importantly both artists never lose sight of the real important things both in their works and through their personal life obsessions: love, sex, death, money and a very acute awareness of time passing. That's precisely why they have such a long lasting influence.
