This quote was sprawled on the screen in my beloved art history class last week, and I just love it:
“Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.”
–Pablo Picasso

It’s so true— lines converging, perspective being created, shadows blending to create a reality—these are all things that artists do to trick us.
Sneaky, aren’t they?
You know that I love this! I studied Picasso extensively, and he is not only an artist painting cubist, he beautifully painted realistic and portrait pieces that were beyond splendid!

Those darn sneaky artists!!! I love this quote too... In fact I think creating art makes you see the world differently... becoming your truth...
