ep. 029 Artist Exploration/Pablo Picasso

The man who gave us “good artists copy; great artists steal", “art is a lie that makes us realize the truth,” and "learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist" is none other than Pablo Picasso.

His artistic philosophy was on point and it led him to shock and offend people time and again in order to pave the way for what would become the new norm of modern art.

He had urgency, he had something to say, and he refused to niche down.

Come along with us as we talk about his legacy: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Listen in as we wrestle with how to appreciate the artist while not glossing over his amorality. And ultimately leave inspired to use your voice as you follow your own calling of creativity.
