Nothing is true and everything is permitted...

If nothing is true, neither is this =P.
It's a logic bomb set to blow.
And it got you right there!
Since the first sentence is about realism, the physical world, while the second is about logic/mentality (ethics) that is NOT derived from it at all, but rather stands next to it.
So, "nothing is true and everything is permitted" directly translates to:
"Nothing physical is everlasting and everything can be done if resources can be found... but every action has an effect, a consequence" (you should mind, remember about).
It's not a question about logic, but rather about the reality, world itself and how to do something about it.
It's not a guide of what to think of paintings or other artists or their philosophies or even one's own, instead, it's a guide how to look at the world that is being painted by you and how to look at painting (painting as activity) itself.
That's what I call a neat mind ****.
The Western world seems to concentrate on parts, sentences, cells, methods, separate strains of logic.
While the Eastern world seems to focus on activities, flows, chains...
... chains of events, activities such as breathing and walking themselves, rather than STEPS, leaps or breath in-takes.
Do you see now? It's a question about a river flow, wind blowing, and their impact on the world, rather than river or wind itself... or logic behind any of them.
