What drove Pablo Picasso to become not only the most influential painter of the 20th century, but also one of the greatest sculptors and ceramist?
Art
Understanding Pablo Picasso's creative process. Picasso never made abstract art because he never ceased to take reality as a model. "There are no concrete or abstract forms," he said, "but only forms that are more or less convincing lies."
Fashion
"When you look at fashion shapes, they're basically the same. The only area where you can really create something new is with fabrics."
Croatian-born Canadian Fashion Designer Zoran Dobric.
