Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we dont start measuring her limbs. – Pablo Picasso
There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality. – Pablo Picasso
But I liked Yeats! That wild Irishman. I really loved his love of language, his flow. His chaotic ideas seemed to me just the right thing for a poet. Passion! He was always on the right side.
