PHASE TWO: Persuasion as Power   We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies. If he only shows in his work that he has searched, and re-searched, for the way to put over lies, he would not accomplish anything. Pablo Picasso Excerpted from an interview with Marius de Zayas, 1923 Novel_Phase_Two.pdf >>
