Good artists copy, great artists steal

Picasso (if he really said that) had a machine painting for him?

  • Picasso explicitly wanted his designs (for cutlery, plates, household items he designed) to be mass-produced, so your question is not as straightforward as you make it to be.

    • What is the connection to machine generated code? He designed the items manually and mass produced them.

      No one objects to a human writing code and selling copies.

      Apart from that, this is the commercial Picasso who loved money. His early pre-expressionist paintings are godlike in execution, even if someone else has painted a Pierrot before him.
