This seems true

The Frugal Repast - 1904

This is Picasso. Seriously. Apparently he is considered the greatest printmaker of the twentieth century in addition to being an incredible sculptor, painter, father of cubism etc. He etched this at a tender age of 23, living in bohemian Montmartre (very possibly close the the cafe where we had duck confit and escargot). I really like how uninterested they are..how masculine the girl looks..and how subtle everything is.

Anywho, life is good. As I try to involve myself in the arts I'm learning that the study of art isn't as much about the creativity as it is about the anthropology. Where I look at a Giotto and see well shaded people, a curator will look at it and discover the historic location, time, and radicalism of the piece. The curator sees a movement, an entire culture and the artist's relationship with said culture. Its really quite bomb.

OK..I need to stop having 24 hour days and sleep when my body needs to. This is enriching but TRULY desctructive
