Picasso seemed to have mastered both, he is one of the most quotable artists, which shows is knack for communicating outside of painting:

"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls".

"Art is a lie that makes us realize truth".

"Art is the elimination of the unnecessary".

"I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them".

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up".

"The chief enemy of creativity is good sense".

One of the stories I recall about him, was how much he prepared for meeting with his art dealer, and to the great lengths he would go practicing all the scenarios with his girlfriend. He did not just wing it, even with his art dealer he considered a friend.

All the artists I know, both pro and amateur, struggle horribly with art PR. I think because of my original point about how art making works vs marketing. '

"I think you're right, @ Michael Newberry.

I've also been having a lot of thoughts recently… a number of them catalyzed when I read @ Jacqueline Rendell’s recent post about artists and support for artists (and in the context of the film Amadeus, which I also happened to have seen again recently)…

…about how particular interests have influenced worlds of art and artistry to become increasingly separated from the embracing bosom of the closely bonded community.

That what most people are introduced to when they first encounter marketing (and maybe even the rest of their lives too) is a distortion of relationship instead of a profound honoring of relationship.

And that often the art we make has had to occur in courageous opposition to the distortion of relationship we encountered in the world of business and commerce.

It has been such a magical experience for me, over the years, to find out that marketing and business can be conceived of very differently, and can be a bridge and a garden in a fully respect oriented relationship between living beings.

And also wow, it has taken a lot for me to gradually be able to process that and find ways to put words to it!"
