I have been pondering on the ridiculous accusations hurled at Pablo Picasso by the puritanical…and dictatorial…progressive class of the 21st Century. It is amazing at the lengths they go to try to control, judge and impose their morality upon us all! It is important not to judge Pablo Picasso by the moral standards of our time, as he lived and created within a very different social and cultural context. While his personal relationships were complex and sometimes controversial, many accounts suggest he maintained deep emotional connections with the women in his life and, always sought to support and protect them within the norms and expectations of his era. Really, the new left is the most far right thing I have ever seen…

Ya que los liberales y progresistas del Siglo 21…estos moralistas y puritanos…quieren controlar, de forma dictatorial, a todos e imponernos sus locuras y la filosofía de lo «correcto políticamente», digo yo: Es importante no juzgar a Pablo Picasso según los estándares morales de nuestra época, ya que vivió y creó en un contexto social y cultural muy distinto. Aunque sus relaciones personales fueron complejas y a veces controvertidas, muchos testimonios indican que mantuvo vínculos emocionales profundos con todas las mujeres de su vida y que, siempre las apoyó y protegió, y ninguna se quejó.

Can people separate the artist from the man?

Yes, all the time… people loved, and still love, John Lennon (and “Imagine”), yet he was a spousal abuser and wife beater…

I think that labels of right and left have lost their meaning. I agree that we should not judge those who inhabited another time and place. There are likely to be many factors we do not and cannot take into account.
Sadly, in our own time, many words are being twisted beyond recognition. There is an old Twilight Zone episode titled «Obsolete». In it a librarian who retains his faith in God is condemned for obsolescence by a state that has ruled there is no God, and no need for libraries or librarians. I fear we are «progressing» in that direction.
