For example, there is a story that some guy was riding on a train with, who else, but Pablo Picasso. So the guy asks Picasso: "Why is all your art, all modern art, so screwed up? Why don’t you paint reality instead of these distortions?"
Picasso asks him, "So what do you think reality looks like?"
The man pulls out a picture of his wife from his wallet and says, "Here, like this. Like the photo of my wife."
Picasso takes the photograph, looks at it, and says, "Really? She’s very small. And flat, too."
I would like to take a moment to commemorate this occasion.
Fake and I have agreed on something.
