Seems to me that Picasso was a brilliant man and very aware of deep emotional chasms, but I would not hang one of his blue period paintings on my wall! It’s like putting on a non stop Leonard Cohen record! And you’d have to sleep with a shotgun under your bed!
Art isn’t always about ‘expressing yourself’. Sometimes artists push us to view art and visualization itself in a different way through ‘weird’ techniques like Cubism.

thats just his stlye. everyone has their own style of expression. he wasn’t always into cubism and "weird" stuff. check out his earlier works, BEFORE cubism.
not everyone is into simple artworks. someone out there needs to do the surreal, like Dali.
take a look at mine, if you want to… i dont know if its "weird"… its just abstract.

Artists such as Cezanne, Matisse and Picasso were a part of the avant-garde because they were bored of so called ‘artistic perfection”. They sought a different way of expressing themselves from the traditionalists (the ‘masters’) who only valued ‘fine art’ (just as music evolves). These artists didn’t paint differently because they couldn’t paint exactly what they saw in a more conventional sense. Drawings that I have seen attributed to Cezanne confirm this. They used odd angles along with unusual directions of light to enable the viewer to understand that it IS a painting and do not pretend to be anything other than the artist’s interpretation. These artists expressed themselves by showing form in their own eyes, with their unique emotions, and this was a rather brave thing to do in my opinion
