"Computers are useless. They can only give you answers."
Pablo Picasso
Okay, useless? No. Especially now that computers are basically placed in our laps at birth and we barely live a moment without the use of one. But the sentiment of this quote resonates with me. For it highlights an essential piece of human nature: inquisitiveness. Yes, perhaps with the aide of computers certain questions and new problems needing solved can arise but the origin of all queries is the human mind. It is one of the greatest abilities we have.
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). We all know him as a famous painter, he was also a sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer. He is credited with co-founding the Cubist style of painting, co-inventing the collage, and inventing constructed sculpture. A couple of his most famous works are Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) and Guernica (1937). One of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century, Picasso along with contemporaries Marcel Duchamp and Henri Matisse, was responsible for exemplifying advancements in the plastic arts.
