What I find interesting about The Bull is how Picasso's initial breakthrough is to reduce the prominent head to a small insignificant shape. Only with that done can he go on to reduce the rest of the body to such a degree. To me that demonstrates how attacking a problem from an unusual angle can yield an unexpected development, when trying to reduce the more obvious components first would probably result in something more like a bull and less like a work of art.

- akg 15y agoA lot of creativity comes from the most unexpected of sources. When you are not thinking about a problem or thinking about something unrelated, some neuron fires and makes connections with some subconscious notion of your original problem. Looking at things from new and unexpected angles also seems to trigger creative neurosis. You just have to turn off that filter and start to look at things where you normally would not.
