what do you think a artist is? an immbecile who has only eyes, if he is a painter,or ears if he is a musician, or lyer in every chamber of his heart if he is a poet? far from it: at the same time, he is also a political being, constantly aware of the heartbreakeing,passionate or delightful, things that happen in the world , shapeing himself completely in their image.how could it be possible to feel no interest in other people, and with a cool indifference to detach yourself from the very life they bring you so abundantly? No, painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an insterment of war.

this was said by pablo picasso and it could not be more true
