Frоm Prоdigy tо Genius аnd Bаck Every humаn is motivated. Some of us are motivated to be happy and “enjoy life;” others are motivated to do good works for fellow humans. Some are motivated to tell their life’s story—to lay out the human experience as they see it. Writers do so in books, poetry, or plays; philosophers philosophize, and teachers teach. Picasso, of course, told his story by means of art; it was his autobiography. Although his body is gone, his psychic state remains visible to all at any time in galleries and on the internet. To feed a vividly imaginative psyche, Picasso was compelled to live large in the external world. Life fed the art, and art kept him alive. Said he: “When a man knows how to do something, he ceases being a man if he stops doing it.” Doing it, and doing it well, however, are two different things. In his last years, Picasso raced around southern France in a frantic quest for the fountain of youth. As Françoise Gilot said after he turned seventy: “His constant dread of death had moved into a critical phase and, as one of its effects, had apparently provoked a taste for ‘life.” Continual sexual conquests—victims--were needed. But the life of an aging Don Juan, at least to Gilot, had become “grotesque” and “ridiculous.” As Picasso’s engine of life—his considerable sexual energy--slowed and eventually stopped, so too did the availability of partners interested in his sort of energizing psycho-sexual drama. His last woman, Jacqueline Roque, was more nurse than combatant. In the end, Picasso’s engagement with life-assuring sex was relegated entirely to his mind. A prostate operation in 1965 left him impotent. But although the body aged, the imagination did not. Like hell-bound Don Giovanni (Don Juan), he seemed to say, “No, no, I will not repent.” This genius, at least, was relentlessly consistent. In his teens, Picasso imitated the masters and in his twenties, created a new standard for what a masterpiece should be. The world watched. In 1966, a million people came to the Grand Palais to see a retrospective of his work. As an old man, however, Picasso’s work became derivative (built on Delacroix, Velázquez, Manet, Rembrandt, and Degas) and often cheaply pornographic. Said his former collaborator Georges Braque: “Picasso used to be a great artist, but now he’s only a genius.” And likewise, another former friend, Marc Chagall: “What a genius, that Picasso. It’s a pity he doesn’t paint.” The prodigious technique and all the celebrity remained, but Picasso’s creations, once frighteningly original, had become variations on the themes of others. “Picasso is only happy when working. Yet he has nothing of his own to work on. He decorates pots and plates that other men make from him. He is reduced to playing like a child. He becomes again the child prodigy.” The prodigy only mimics the work of others but does not create. In the course of his ninety-two years, Picasso had gone from prodigy to genius and back. https://alumniacademy.yale.edu/sites/default/files/2021-06/6-23%2010PicassoWrightEssay.pdf Which type of context clue helps the reader determine the meaning of vividly?
