I hate that aesthetic game of the eye and the mind, played by these
connoisseurs, these mandarins who "appreciate" beauty. What is beauty,
anyway? There's no such thing. I never "appreciate," any more than
I "like." I love or I hate.
-- Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)
-- Quoted in Francoise Gilot and Carlton Lake, Life with Picasso,
pt. 6 (1964)
