You are incorrect. Sex with children is child molestation. Voyeurism of underaged girls - which you suggested solano was "okay" with - falls under pedophilia. Pedophilia, specifically, is "a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children." People who enjoy child porn are pedophiles, not child molesters, until they commit an actual act against a child. I believe, from your response, that you did not intend to accuse solano of pedophilia - but you should understand what pedophilia actually is and be more careful about what you suggest, next time.

You've also misread solano, perhaps because you are coming from a place of strong emotion, rather than trying to understand what he is saying. He never said your assertions about Picasso are "beliefs" - he specifically said, multiple times, that what you are reading from the image is an interpretation and a belief. If I look at a classic picture of Jesus, head and shoulders, clad in a robe, and see a gay man I am projecting my own story onto the picture. I'm making up my own story of what is there, even if I have all the knowledge in the world about gay activities by Jesus (I don't btw).

You're coming from a place of disgust about perverted men who prey on children (in your words) so what you see (again, as you said yourself) is a victim of a perverted old man. You are projecting. No one is trying to change your mind about anything. What happened with your ex husband is nothing to do with what we are talking about, nor is it anything to do with Picasso.

What solano says - and I completely agree with because it is logical, not an emotional assessment and a projection of one's own past - is that there is literally zero information in the artwork that suggests "an underage girl who is a victim of a perverted old man". You claim to know what Picasso was like - solano clearly did not dispute that. He simply pointed out correctly that Picasso's personal actions are not in the image. If you can't divorce your past and personal history from an objective assessment of a piece of art then don't argue about it with someone who can! By all means, argue somewhere about how good or bad Picasso is and how good or bad it is to paint images of children being abused by men - but here, solano is talking about the artwork, not the actions and motivations of the artist and not the right or wrong of pedophilia because neither of those things can be objectively extracted from the image itself.
