"L'art n'est pas l'application d'un canon de beauté mais ce que l'instinct et le cerveau peuvent concevoir au-delà de tout canon. Quand nous aimons une femme, nous ne commençons pas à mesurer ses membres."
— Pablo Picasso
Simplified Meaning:
Art isn't about following strict rules or guidelines about what is beautiful. It's more about what our instincts and imagination can create, which goes beyond any set rules. Think about falling in love with someone. You don't pull out a ruler and measure their arms and legs to decide if you love them. Love is about feelings and connection, not numbers and measurements. Similarly, creating art is about expressing thoughts, emotions, and ideas that go beyond just trying to fit into a definition of beauty. You can use this idea in your life by trusting your instincts and creativity rather than always trying to follow set rules or standards.
