These are all amazing. Any interpretation is of course valid but "boring and uninspired" is flat-out nonsense. Such critique is obviously coming from people who just want straight realistic portraits as opposed to the other-worldly artistic exploration of Crackydom expressed by the artist herein. There is an immense wealth of value in these and they've lent themselves to some imaginative and insightful discussions of Olivia every time. I, personally, am indebted. If you get nothing out of them, I suggest it is in fact you who are boring and uninspired.

Also, I wonder how often Pablo heard "too much blue" between 1900 and 1904.
