Summary

This quote, attributed to Pablo Picasso, emphasizes that the purpose of art is not to depict literal truth, but rather to reveal a deeper and often subjective truth.

It functions as a vehicle for understanding and realizing truths about ourselves, our emotions, and the world around us. By embodying and confronting these "lies," art prompts reflection and offers insights that may resonate with our own experiences and interpretations of truth.
