Once, Picasso was asked what his paintings meant. He said: "Do you ever know what the birds are singing? No. But you listen to them anyway. Therefore, art is important only to look at." #pablopicasso #art #arttheory #philosophy

Art is a lie that makes us realize truth at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.

😂 I love 9th jumps. They are so atmospheric. The first one should be exactly 90 secs long as I was asked to write a 90 sec piece for soprano harp and piano. After the first performance I decided to set 3 more of the stories. Thanks for listening - and commenting.
