    His total self-centeredness. He made everything - and that includes his personal relations - a subject for his art. He was obviously hardly capable of empathy on a personal level.

    • I don't see that in the other famous artists I've studied about. Do you know any others that felt that way? I try to imagine the immense creative force in him and how a human being could deal with it. Very interesting---to study creativity.++(pluses mean very good answer, that's my way of communicating, in case you wonder.)

    • Picasso surely was an extreme case, but there are other great artists who had a difficult social life - Andy Warhol, for instance, or the Austrian painter Gustav Klimt (who fathered 14 children with several women). In case the name is not familiar: his Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer was bought by Ronald Lauder for the Neue Galerie in New York for a world record price.

    • I've seen documentaries on Andy Warhol's Garage Days. They are eye openers of how artists lived and how society also didn't contribute to their quality of life. Klimt was a handsome man, reminds me a little of my dad (in looks only). I looked up his painting and other works. His style looks really familiar to me. Are there artists today that have possibly copied his style? I see that style on Art.com, where they sell prints of famous works.

    • Never mind. I checked on Art.com and it's all Klimt's work. There are 1,065 items listed there! I knew that style looked really familiar. It's really popular today. I like it! Thanks for added info.++ :)
