Picasso: Dove of Peace

“Everyone wants to understand art. 
Why don’t we try to understand the song of a bird? 
Why do we love the night, the flowers, everything around us, 
without trying to understand them? 
But in the case of a painting, people think they have to understand. 
If only they would realize above all that an artist works of necessity, 
that he himself is only an insignificant part of the world, 
and that no more importance should be attached to him
than to plenty of other things which please us in the world” 

Pablo Picasso

That's Questionable

A question that sparks curiosities... Were advertisement and entertainment posters of the 19th century considered decorative art?  Were they considered street art and did that mean graffiti which is equivalent to today's graffiti? Since they were a new form of art, what were the overall intentions and public opinions regarding them?  Did they decorate the streets or pollute them?
