“We all know that Art is not truth. 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.”
—Pablo Picasso, quoted in Ashton, Picasso on Art, 21; originally quoted in a discussion on cubism with an American art critic Marius de Zayas in 1923, published in The Arts’ essay “Picasso Speaks.”
