razorshapes: Pablo Picasso - Bull (1945) About Picasso’s series: “Pablo Picasso created ‘Bull’ around the Christmas of 1945. ‘Bull’ is a suite of eleven lithographs that have become a master class in how to develop an artwork from the academic to the abstract. In this series of images, all pulled from a single stone, Picasso visually dissects the image of a bull to discover its essential presence through a progressive analysis of its form. Each plate is a successive stage in an investigation to find the absolute ‘spirit’ of the beast.”

I have, in my career, been contacted by 3 paranoid schizophrenics who believed I was trying to destroy and/or kill them.

One of them did however contact me to apologise for whatever it was he had done to deserve it.

“I loved comic books, especially the funny ones, like Little Lulu, and man oh man, if Uncle Scrooge was in the latest episode of Donald Duck, I was in heaven. My father financed my subscriptions, and I ended up, after one year, owing him five dollars. Though he never dogged me for it, I’m sure he kept this debt on the books to teach me the value of money. As the balance grew, I was nauseated whenever I thought of it. One birthday, he forgave my debt, and I soared with relief. In my adult life, I have never bought anything on credit.” —

Steve Martin, Born Standing Up

I read this book last month, and when I reached this quote I felt a lot better about my attitude re: credit. Steve’s doing okay, so maybe I will too.
