SOME CITIES SOME STORIES |
For a few years I lived in the UK. Since then I have been writing stories inspired by those cities in which I spent anything from a couple of hours up to a couple of years
"What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who only has eyes if he's a painter, ears if he's a musician,
or a lyre in every chamber of his heart if he's a poet - or even, if he's a boxer, only some muscles? Quite the
contrary, he is at the same time a political being constantly alert to the horrifying, passionate or pleasing
events in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. How is it possible to be uninterested in other men
and by virtue of what cold nonchalance can you detach yourself from the life that they supply so copiously?
No, painting is not made to decorate apartments. It's an offensive and defensive weapon against the enemy."
Pablo Picasso
