Pablo Picasso and the Dust of Daily Life

The outdoor shower at the dock in my neighborhood on Johns Island, South Carolina

I kind of like the daily dust, so I’m trying to figure out what Picasso means here. I don’t think he’s saying reject the ordinary. I think it’s more like using the ordinary as a portal to the Really Real.

What do you think? When was the last time you had a philosophical discussion? Or taken a shower outdoors?
