如何理解毕加索的这句话， 毕加索曾经说过“好的艺术家会借鉴，而伟大的艺术家会抄袭。Good artists copy, great artists steal.”

好的艺术家，时时可有，而伟大的艺术家，却不能时时有。为什么呢？因为好的艺术家，稍微用点心，努力一点，就会被扣上一个好的艺术家标签。而“伟大”两个字，绝对是扣不上的。
伟大的艺术家，都是举世闻名的，他们的作品是不可被超越的，他们的作品都是有灵魂的，都是有时代的价值，让人感到可遇不可求的。

我们不妨看看毕加索毕加索经典的语录，一语道破了好的艺术家和伟大的艺术家的区别！文字如下：
模仿皮毛就能称之为好的艺术家，在我们国内，估计遍地都能开花。自古以来我们中国人是最聪明的，也最善于模仿的。而且近代都被世人们称之为山寨王国。

只要国外有什么东西，我们中国人只要看一眼，立马就能造出来。这是我们国人值得骄傲的地方，也证明了我们国人聪明之处。
但是这只是好的艺术家而已，称不上伟大。伟大的艺术家，在毕加索眼里看来，是窃取灵魂的人，才算伟大的艺术家。什么叫灵魂？对于一个作品而言，如果缺少了灵魂，就如同一个活生生的人缺少了五官一样，没有神情。

可想灵魂这种东西多么重要，灵魂这种东西是摸不着，抓不着的东西，是模仿不了的，但为什么毕加索说可以窃取呢？可想毕加索他应该有自己的一套窃取方法吧？
就是把别人作品上值得借鉴、值得学习的东西，都学过来，然后在这基础上赋予新的灵魂，也就成了自己的灵魂。一定是自己的灵魂的作品，才不叫模仿皮毛。

最伟大的模仿应该是看不出是模仿，没有丝毫模仿痕迹的，而只有自己知道。所以说这个很难做到。模仿皮毛，很多人都容易做到。但是窃取别人作品的灵魂却很难。
所以说这句话也不愧是毕加索说出来的，毕加索14岁时候，画画就可以画的跟拉斐尔一样好，无疑就是窃取了先辈们的作品中的灵魂；但毕加索却将自己的余生去学习小孩子那样画画。
可想毕加索是一位善于改变的人，当到达了一个高峰的时候，也只有去改变，才能不断提高自己的作品。一成不变下去，那么毕加索顶多也就只算一个模仿者罢了。

所以说当一个人窃取了别人作品的灵魂后，要做的就是改变自己，在别人作品灵魂上去尝试新的改变，只有这样才能找到属于自己的灵魂作品。
每一位艺术家都是从模仿皮毛开始的，可为什么有些艺术家却那么伟大，有些艺术家始终还是那样？这样的区别就在于不会去改变。

像毕加索14岁时就窃取了拉斐尔画儿的灵魂，能跟拉斐尔画的一样好，那么他这样保持下去，是很难突破拉斐尔和自己的。只有去改变，才会有新的突破，也才能找到新的灵魂，属于自己的灵魂作品。
我们不要做一成不变的模仿者，要在100%模仿过，再后找到自己。很多人模仿着就迷失了自己的方向，还不知道，还自以为是，还自认为自己很伟大。
所以说毕加索经典的语录，一语道破了好的艺术家和伟大的艺术家的区别！
