Philo-philosophy - Picasso On The Beach

Chapter 12 entitled 'Picasso On The Beach', from the book The Pig That Wants To Be Eaten written by philosopher Julian Baggini, deliberates how any form of performance would be able to maintain a permanent existence, provoking thoughts that the possibility of human desire for preservation could surface a form of denial about our own mortality...

A brilliant read for those of us who enjoy a good wander around our philosophically-attracted thoughts, I leave you with this:
'If we accept that art is mortal too, and that nothing is truly permanent, maybe we can see more clearly where the value of art and life is to be found: in experiencing them.'
