Picasso Quote

"Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot; others transform a yellow spot into the sun."
Pablo Picasso

Here's the quote in its entirety : "There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into sun."
