I’ve been reading “Picasso and Truth – From Cubism to Guernica” but mostly looking at the pictures. Author, T. J. Clark focuses on the art and stays away from the personality and that is as it should be but I get awfully bogged down in the artspeak.
I came awake thinking about a memorable quote that was actually never said by anyone. I must have dreamed it but I believed it as I regained my footing. I’ll put it in quotes but that doesn’t make it so. Picasso said, “If I could have painted one of my late (1970s) paintings when I first started out I would have stopped right there.”
It must have been the Breaking Bad episode we watched before turning in.
