More From Pablo Picasso

Everyone wants to understand art. why not try to understand the song of a bird? why does one love the night, flowers, everything around one, without trying to understand them? but in the case of a painting people have to understand. if only they would realize above all that an artist works of necessity, that he himself is only a trifling bit of the world, and that no more importance should be attached to him than to plenty of other things which please us in the world, though we can't explain them. people who try to explain pictures are usually barking up the wrong tree.

All that stuff about flatness - it's this idea that painting is a specialized discipline and that modernist painting increasingly refers to painting and is refining the laws of painting. but who cares about painting? what we care about is that the planet is heating up, species are disappearing, there's war, and there are beautiful girls here in brooklyn on the avenue and there's food and flowers.

The sun shines not on us but in us. the rivers flow not past, but through us. thrilling, tingling, vibrating every fiber and cell of the substance of our bodies, making them glide and sing. the trees wave and the flowers bloom in our bodies as well as our souls, and every bird song, wind song, and tremendous storm song of the rocks in the heart of the mountains is our song, our very own, and sings our love.

You will remember when a bird crashed through the window and fell to the floor. you will remember, those of you who were there, how it jerked its wings before dying, and left a spot of blood on the floor after it was removed. but who among you was first to notice the negative bird it left in the window? who first saw the shadow that the bird left behind, the shadow that drew blood from any finger that dared to trace it, the shadow that was better proof of the bird's existence than the bird ever was?

Early bird oh, if you’re a bird, be an early bird and catch the worm for your breakfast plate. if you’re a bird, be an early bird— but if you’re a worm, sleep late.

Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report written on birds that he'd had three months to write, which was due the next day. we were out at our family cabin in bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books about birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. then my father sat down beside him put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, "bird by bird, buddy. just take it bird by bird.
