What is art? And what is truth? If we think the truth is reality, then art cannot be a lie because art is not only paintings and drawings but also theatre, music and movies. Even nature around us can be art, and it is. Every day is unique and special from another. It is not the same, and daily life is the same. Through art, we can be aware of reality, the past, and all that is happening. We can feel and see the truth from art.
I’m afraid I have to disagree with this Picasso’s quote because many paintings and all art is based on truth and reality. Painters and all artists are inspired by reality, daily life and the truth. Even if the artwork is abstract, dreamy and unrealistic, the symbols in it lead to the real life and life of the painter. Every kind of art speaks about the truth and reality; we can find the truth or message for us in every piece of art. Art can bring people together, even from different cultures and communities. It is a universal language for people. Many kinds of the art show the feelings of the artist.
We think art is a lie or the painting we are looking at is not real; we have to find something behind it, the symbols and secret meaning. But in my opinion, not every artist hid something in their work. I am also an artist, and I paint and draw because I like something that I saw and do not want to forget it, or I want to use some scenery in the book I am writing. We can connect events from artists’ work to their lives and see their style in it. Art is a lie because it can be too surrealistic and abstract, and we can not understand what it is or its meaning. Then for many people, art is a lie, and it means nothing to them. Appreciate art even if it does not tell you anything and means nothing to you.
