And yet nothing is more necessary than this wisdom. It is ethics itself: to learn to live—alone, from oneself, by oneself. Life does not know how to live otherwise. And does one ever do anything else but learn to live, alone, from oneself, by oneself? This is, therefore, a strange commitment, both impossible and necessary, for a living being supposed to be alive: "I would like to learn to live." It has no sense and cannot he just unless it comes to terms with death. Mine as (well as) that of the other. Between life and death, then, this is indeed the place of a sententious injunction that always feigns to speak like the just.

Pablo Picasso, André Villers, Diurnes. Découpages et Photographies, 1962.
Picasso made some cut-outs of heads and silhouettes of men, women and animals. Villers mounted the cut-outs on different photographs - thirty in all - thus varying their effect and quality.

The Color of Pomegranates is a 1969 Soviet film written and directed by Sergei Parajanov. It's a biography of the Armenian ashug Sayat-Nova (King of Song), presented in a form of silent movie with active tableaux. The director had claimed his inspiration was the Armenian illuminated miniatures: "I wanted to create that inner dynamic that comes from inside the picture - he said - the forms and the dramaturgy of colour".
