Summary

This quote by Pablo Picasso suggests that art is not intended to present objective truth, but rather to communicate a deeper, subjective truth.

Thus, the quote highlights the power of art to illuminate truths that lie beyond mere factual accuracy.

Man's characteristic privilege is that the bond he accepts is not physical but moral; that is, social. He is governed not by a material environment brutally imposed on him, but by a conscience superior to his own, the superiority of which he feels.
