Painting reflects. It kills you in a colourful shower of emptiness. Flatness. Randomness. And beauty. Yes, it is the most pure beauty I have ever felt in my life.

About This Quote

In his essay, "The Art of Painting," painter, Pablo Picasso says "Painting reflects. It kills you in a colourful shower of emptiness. Flatness. Randomness.

And beauty." This quote nicely describes the feeling that comes with art. There is an emptiness that can be filled by the colors and shapes of an artwork. The colors and shapes are random, but the feelings one might get from them are not.

They can be used to reflect back on oneself, making the self more beautiful than it appears to be on the outside. Adapted from: http://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/03/03/pablo-picasso-quote-of-the-day/
