Perhaps Picasso meant that art is but a representation of what we experience in reality. What we experience is a whole without much deeper thought. As an artists, shades and tints of colors determined by light are explored, various shapes are explored, expressions are explored deeper (what makes one look sad, happy, etc.)…

Reality becomes more complete when forced to explore deeper the shades and tints of blades of grass or leaves on a tree for example.

The truth may not be seen in its entirety perhaps, until we explore more deeply when recreating it.

Art is a higher truth than what happened.

Art is not the object, nor is it itself an object–it is an experience. Art engages us, like a magician does, by showing us what we are seeing with devices that we don’t see (i.e, shapes in place of things, lines in place of boundaries and movement, spaces around as well as within things, color instead of light). We are intrigued by the process, so that we become enamored of its message.

I am a country girl with a simple view of life. If I take that statement literally, it makes no sense to me, because I believe art is not a/the lie.It is about one’s perception, and everyone has a different perception. To an individual, his/her perception is truth for him/her. Art may change how something is perceived, but it still doesn’t make it a lie., nor does it make it truth. ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, and so is ugly, drab, or horrific. We are all able to realize truth, with or without art. Art can be food for thought, eye candy, or an investment. It can also be the necessity of life for someone who must create it. Pardon me, if I just don’t get it. I am interested in learning, but some of the comments leave me wondering what the commentors are talking about. I liked Kimberly Santini’s Comment, it was insightful. I welcome any enlightenment, and thank you in advance for the honor of being able to participate in this discussion.

Ah, but “This is not a pipe”
A piece of flat canvas with paint daubed on it is not a real person (lie), yet we can recognize the face and sometimes even detect thoughtfulness or pain.(truth)

Morgen: Did you click on “Subscribe by Email”? I just tested it and it worked for me. I’m wondering if you, instead, put your email in the search box below the Subscribe link.

This is exactly what I thought, only you articulated it so much better than I could.
