"All Art Is a Lie"
“All art is a lie, insofar as truth is defined by the Supreme Court. After all, Picasso's goat isn't a goat. Is the artist a liar, or simply one for whom even a fact is not a fact?”
--Ned Rorem (1999)

At a cocktail reception for my university exchange program to a famous old Tokyo university, a Japanese professor approached me through the crowd and launched into a word-for-word recitation of the foreword to The Portrait of Dorian Gray. While the passage was familiar to me, the only phrase I could recall verbatim was the final line, which we intoned in unison:
"All art is quite useless."

Maybe an artist is, at times, delusional. Legally, to be lying you have to be aware that what you are saying is not true. When creating a work of art you're expressing yourself which can take whatever result you want. Sometimes the art will tell the truth in an empirical sense and sometimes it won't.

I think most Impressionists were just short-sighted.
