Picasso how did a surreal spanish cartoonist ego churn out the worlds, now most monetarily valuable paintings ?
the secrets
1: like Warhol churn the crap out and release it in a phased fashion, fill your basement with works ready to go, such that you can leak them out at a rate which your market will bear, in other words money first, art second. This means hen you stock is high you will have a way of capitalising on it quickly.
2: be a forceful personality : a tyrant of an ego, be desirous of women much younger than you, don’t allow yourself to be sensitively swayed and repulsed by the concept of the aged male ego possessing and despoiling un-aesthetically a much younger flower, and attempt often successfully by such ego’d desires to fatally prove that romantically limited women are swayed as always by power money and fame, and proximity to it, as drivers that often engineer who they will or wont sleep with.
3: Make sure your art is not realist or tangible in any skill sense that can be judged purely on that basis.This further enables from a value perspective its monetary value, to in stellar proportions exceed its artistic merit, this makes it a better investment proposition from the moneyers perspective. as potential growth in value is not limited by artistic merit. In the case of picasso’s paintings this meant creating surreal illustrative graphic icons, that almost serve as banners within in which investment monetarily and mentally can occur, they primitively tap a simple minds sense of logo or iconography.
4: cultivate the idea of investment in your tawdry “artist brand” and personality as being important. Art without a signature or attribution to the “cult of personality” attached to an artist is always of lesser value.
5: Attempt to imbibe and project extreme subjective philosophical and intellectually obscure beliefs about the meaning of all your works. Never allow there to be anything plain or obvious within you painting from a discussed subject matter perspective.
6: retain illusivity and mystique at all times, place your time in highly unrealistic demand. and as much as possbile without damaging the financial marketing capital of your work be a recluse rarely seen, and much less understood.
7: cultivate an ego that will mean all your relations friends and family, are secondary to your work, so as to become relatively: an abuser of other people. Steal from them, their needs of you, time wise, and imbue your work with this stolen value.
