Picasso on Objectivity

Somebody was saying to Picasso that he ought to make pictures of things the way they are—objective pictures.  He mumbled he wasn't quite sure what that would be.  The person who was bullying him produced a photograph of his wife from his wallet and said, "There, you see, that is a picture of how she really is."  Picasso looked at it and said, "She is rather small, isn't she?  And flat?"

(Gregory Bateson, quoted in The Age of Spiritual Machines by Ray Kurzweil, p.159)
