Picasso!
Don’t look at nature after art to slight
The art. The point of art is not to ape
But thinking. Artists target to incite,
Not prettify, but cause the mind to gape.
To criticize a painting for a lack
Of slavishness to facts is silliness
Akin to faulting Coco, her attack
On women’s froufrou and its frilliness.
Instead you might be well-advised to look
At art to teach your brain a thing or two
About the nature that the artist took
To make the thoughtful point he grew.
..Some artists have forgotten nature. They
….Torment nature. The natural is their prey.
