Quote by Pablo Picasso

You know, it's just like being a peddler. You want two breasts? Well, here you are -- two breasts.

Summary

This quote, attributed to Pablo Picasso, expresses his perspective on art and the role of the artist. Using the analogy of a peddler, Picasso suggests that an artist's goal is to present the viewer with all the necessary elements to create their own interpretation. By providing the viewer with "everything he needs," the artist empowers them to engage with the artwork and construct their own understanding or representation. Picasso emphasizes the viewer's agency in shaping their perception, ultimately arguing that the artist's creation becomes a collaboration between the artist and the viewer.
