One of the old clichés about Pablo Picasso is that he was, technically, an exceptional formal/realist painter. And it was that reality, the reality that he could have just as easily been a Sargent or Eakins had he so desired, that underscored the importance of the Blue Period and Demoiselles d’Avignon and Guernica. Because, in both the substance of style and the substance of substance, those works transcended the medium, were about more than just a painter and what he was trying to depict.
I bring this up because the thing I most want to say about Sactown Royalty, a blog dedicated to the Sacramento Kings, is that it was never really about the Sacramento Kings.
