On July 26, 1916, I announced to all my friends in America that from now on I resolved to write no more poems in the classical language, and to begin my experiments in writing poetry in the so-called vulgar tongue of the people.
I decided that I wanted to explore all kinds of music with my cello, not just the Western classical tradition. I just wanted to try and expand my vocabulary and bring that different kind of music to my audience.
To my mind and ear, there is simply nothing that compares to the musical sophistication of a late Beethoven, Bartok, Schubert or Brahms work for minimal forces.
I enjoy doing both of them very much, concert work particularly, and the division varies from season to season.
Donald Trump is a great friend, and he has four or five Picassos on his plane. And that's where I would look at them.
I don't want to compare myself to Picasso, but he had four or five periods in his life. Any good artist grows and changes and matures.
There have been many different artists that have been inspirational. I suppose the question is directed to what was the reason why I went into fantasy illustration.
Turns out Picasso's passion for uncertainty, mystery, and the thrill of life never ended.
When I was 12, I wrote a list of things to do before I died. 'Own a Picasso' was one of those things.
I was a rebel and I wanted to do something that nobody else did, and nobody else played the cello. Also, I was also a small kid and I liked the fact that it was big.
I listened to Pablo Casals, which was a big change for me. Without hearing Casals, I would never have advanced as I did.
There's a great energy and drive that takes precedence in a lot of rock and pop. It's about making a strong visceral connection. That's something that I think great classical music can have, too.
Let us not forget that the cultivation of the earth is the most important labor of man. When tillage begins, other arts will follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of civilization.
Many talk about a guest worker program. I think most reasonable people believe that a guest worker program in the farming industry, perhaps in the gardening and landscape industries, is reasonable.
I was a kid with a lot of different, strange interests - kind of crazy.
The 'New York Times' reviews of my work have been evenly divided - favourable and unfavourable.
You don't have to be Picasso or Rembrandt to create something. The fun of it, the joy of creating, is way high above anything else to do with the art form.
Ernest Hemingway: Picasso only thinks that women are to sleep with, or to paint.
Now people look at 'The Scream' or Van Gogh's 'Irises' or a Picasso and see its new content: money. Auction houses inherently equate capital with value.
There is a relationship between cartooning and people like Mir= and Picasso which may not be understood by the cartoonist, but it definitely is related even in the early Disney.
Benar. Kita tak pernah lagi menjumpai kebahagiaan yang setara dengan kebahagiaan masa kanak-kanak kita." Pablo mengangguk sedih.
