The New Is About To Be Created
“Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.”
– Pablo Picasso
Title : The New Is About To Be Created
Not far away a brand new shopping center is about to be born.
But first the old one needs to be pulled apart to build the new one.
As artists we “know” often you must pull apart to create.

To Create is to Destroy

“Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.”
Pablo Picasso

One thing most of us have in common is……..we don’t like to destroy things.
But to make progress in anything we do have to destroy (re-create) the existing to create the new.
Nature does this too with storms, winds, fire, floods etc.
Somehow…………we need to see it for what it is……creating the new.
As an art teacher I have seen that when a student (or myself)
is able to “destroy” a work in progress something better ALWAYS emerges.
Often there are moments of doubt but eventually a much better artwork is created.

Here’s another portrait I did on the 25th October…… of Pablo Picasso. I did not know it was the anniversary of his birthday until I saw the article shown at the link below.
Recently I am looking at Picasso more and more and relating a lot to his Cubist work. For years I have being doing my own form of Cubism and not realising it. You will see more about this in the future.
The link about his birthday is shown below.

This is another photo manipulation artwork where I have just begun and let the process guide and influence my direction. Picasso’s two quotes above describe it best.
