Things to remember
Francis Picabia, Cover of Litterature, No. 7 (1 December, 1922)
Always having been intrigued with the Surrealists and their process of thinking / creating, I check in with some of our books on the subject from time to time. I came across this editorial note by Francis Picabia which reminds us some fundamentals to keep in mind when creating art....or a creative existence in general.
"Do not admire yourself. Do not let yourself be shut up in a revolutionary school which has become conventional. Do not allow commercial speculation. Do not seek official glory. Draw your inspiration only from life, and have no ideal save that of the continued movement of intelligence." -F. Picabia
