( 5 years and 3291 days ago ) jawshoewhah: You're right, Kyricom. No one enters confusing photos. That NEVER happens!! What was MrM thinking by adding that? 
( 5 years and 3290 days ago )
( 5 years and 3290 days ago ) Contest Moderator: Maybe this may help a bit....the entire quote is:
"We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, at least the truth that is given to us to understand. "

jawshoewhah: I was actually looking at the history of Picasso in wiki and that part of the quote was listed. I know, I know Kyricom. I can hear it now. Never trust all the info on wiki....
I was looking for info on Picasso for a traditional art contest suggestion and thought it would be fun to make our own Picasso paintings, but only in his style of course.

( 5 years and 3290 days ago ) MnMCarta: Um...yes still not gettin it. Lol ( 5 years and 3289 days ago )
creativefreedom: It is a shame there are now other entries on this theme ( 5 years and 3288 days ago )
Ory: I think we're all waiting for some more entries to validate our decision on what the theme means. Since I have no idea really I'm not entering unless I get inspired somehow. ( 5 years and 3288 days ago )
Momof4boyoboys: I am just glad I am not at level 15+ so I would have to try and figure this one out! have fun!!! ( 5 years and 3286 days ago )
( 5 years and 3286 days ago ) karaflazz: As i see so far this is an other "unspecified" theme.
This is gonna be really fun.
You can submit all most any thing & call it "art".
Let's see...it's still Tuesday....

( 5 years and 3286 days ago ) karaflazz: The description makes the photo & NOT the other way around!!! ( 5 years and 3286 days ago )
kyricom: IMHO... VERY few of the entries have anything at all to do with the theme. I think I agree with karaflazz in that you seem to be able to submit virtually anything, and then put some explanation that mentions "truth" or "lies" and it's suddenly on theme. ( 5 years and 3284 days ago )
jawshoewhah: I have to say, you're right Kyricom. I really suggested the quote. Spur of the moment idea that only required a copy/paste. ( 5 years and 3283 days ago )
( 5 years and 3283 days ago ) Howdie stranger!

Controlling the crowds... - created by karaflazz
Art Gallery - created by maclu2iaf
Paint as they are... - created by MnMCarta
not as you want them to look.
To me this portrays the quote in a way that where most people are airbrushed to look like what society says the "MAJORITY" wants people to look like (THE LIE) and yet here you see they are painted as they are (THE TRUTH)
I hope I got this somewhat right. It's very hard for me. (5 years and 3286 days ago)
Unnecessary avenues - created by MnMCarta
The lie here is that it portrays the act of it being ok to just destroy things to make an interesting and shorter path whereas the truth is we could have taken other avenues and enjoyed this 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 year old tree just as much, even if it took us a few extra steps to get there.

I'm Waiting for YOU... - created by UncleJimmy
My interpretation is this...in art, advertising, and certain (men's) magazines; the subject seems to be speaking or interacting with only the viewer...whomever that may be...a lie, but we perceive or want to believe that we, the viewer, are the one it's actually meant for...

I don.t get it, could you please add a description, as per rules, ". If the meaning of it is not really obvious, you have to explain your shot in the description."
Off course Ory.
Lie:There is no way there is a plug like this on the back of someones neck.
True:Governments all around the globe controls us through media = fear.
Is like ppl are robots...
Programmable machines to do their work...to obey them orders.
We blindly listen to every thing they want us to believe.
We search for the "material" forgetting our human nature.
Our goal?
To buy a bigger house / car / better than the person next to us!!!
We fight each other for NO reason.
Thats what they want us to do...
We are programmable machines believe it or not.
Sad...but sooo true!!!!!
You mean I'm not supposed to have that thing on my neck? Dang!!! And I thought all ya'll had one!
Nice shot, and concept.
interesting concept and as usual, wonderful execution author....best of luck
Great shot...I'm a fan of 'The Matrix' too!
"there's a shadow dressed behind me" Wow, the guy even looks like Maynard James Keenan with a monitor plug in his neck. Neat. GL,.
Nah I take that back, I think he looks more like Henry Rollins. But you don't really care what I think do you?
Howdie stranger!
