Reply to comment by drygnfyre in TIL When Picasso died, his estate contained 1,885 paintings, 1,228 sculptures, 7,089 drawings, as well as tens of thousands of prints, thousands of ceramic works and 150 sketchbooks. His youngest daughter, Paloma Picasso, is the richest heir, with $600 million by Ok_Copy5217

Yet 1970s was 50 years ago. So it is actually a long time ago.

Given a good chunk of the world's population was still alive alongside Picasso, I don't really consider this "a long time ago," at least not in the sense I was thinking of. I think a lot of this came from taking art classes in school, we'd read about him alongside Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Raphael, so this probably made me think of him as one of the ancient greats.
