The chief enemy of creativity is good taste.

The chief enemy of creativity is good taste.

Summary

This quote, often attributed to Pablo Picasso, suggests that adhering too closely to societal notions of "good taste" can stifle or inhibit creativity. When we constantly worry about what is socially acceptable or aesthetically pleasing, we may become hesitant to explore unconventional ideas or unconventional ways of expressing ourselves. Creativity demands a freedom to break away from expectations and to push boundaries, even if it means challenging conventional notions of "good taste." By embracing our own unique perspectives and daring to venture outside the confines of social norms, we allow creativity to flourish.

The television screen, so unlike the movie screen, sharply reduced human beings, revealed them as small, trivial, flat, in two banal dimensions, drained of color. Wasn't there something reassuring about it! -- that human beings were in fact merely images of a kind registered in one another's eyes and brains, phenomena composed of microscopic flickering dots like atoms. They were atoms -- nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?
