No, people do art to have a purpose and an identity, and then they make money off of it. Picasso is special because it took Picasso going through life and experimenting with artistic principles and processing his emotions about the world wars and pushing the medium to the edge of what was accepted back then. And when other artists mimic that style, yeah it’s fucking stealing. When Lana del rey makes a song that sounds like a rip off of Radiohead, they sue her. Because it’s fucking stealing.
