Pablo Picasso on, Art Critics and Artists

Science and Charity (1897) - Pablo Picasso 

“When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning.
  When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine.”

-  Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso, Spanish born painter and sculptor, was the founder of Western modern art. He demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent at an early age. 

A good artist is someone who either soothes or stimulates. A great artist like Picasso does both for he provokes and inspires.

He created an art movement known as Cubism. In Cubist paintings, objects are broken apart and put back together in weird forms and geometric shapes like cubes, cones, or cylinders. The final image provokes the viewer to step out of the normal and mundane and examine objects and situations with a refreshingly interesting and unusual perspective.

Song Unsung.

The song that I came to sing remains unsung to this day.
I have spent my days in stringing and in unstringing my instrument.
The time has not come true,
the words have not been rightly set;
Only there is the agony of wishing in my heart.
The blossom has not opened; only the wind is sighing by.
I have not seen His face, nor have I listened to His voice;
only I have heard His gentle footsteps from the road before my house.
The lifelong day has passed in spreading His seat on the floor;
but the lamp has not been lit and I cannot ask Him into my house.
I live in the hope of meeting with Him; but this meeting is not yet.

-  Rabindranath Tagore
