“Everyone wants to understand art. Why don’t we try to understand the song of a bird? Why do we love the night, the flowers, everything around us, without trying to understand them? But in the case of a painting, people think they have to understand. If only they would realize above all that an artist works of necessity, that he himself is only an insignificant part of the world, and that no more importance should be attached to him than to plenty of other things which please us in the world, though we can’t explain them people who try to explain pictures are usually barking up the wrong tree.” Picasso

This is one of the best quotes I have read on the topic. I like it and will remember it.

I've worn Paloma for years - the scent, I mean.
I've not seen Paloma playing with Tadpoles before - wonderful. And, oh, I love that quote. Why indeed?
I thoroughly agree with him.
Wonderful quote! I adore Picasso.
