Personal opinion Pablo Picasso I think Pablo is pretty cool. He is the inventor of the cubism idea so thats neat. Most of his artwork is pretty nice too. Georgia o’Keeffe She is pretty cool, but her paintings are all pretty relaxed and calm. Most of the colors she uses are quiet colors, even though her paintings have meaning but theyre not as intriguing.
