Elsewhere, Saraceni suggests that there is a different kind of fakery, one which is commonly practiced not by con men trying to make an easy profit but by the artists themselves. For Saraceni, a work of art must be a reflection of the integrity of the artist. According to Saraceni, "honest painters" of every era have always painted the inner vision or brought "the inner vision to some outer subject. But in an earlier day the inner vision presented itself in a coherent language of mythological or religious terms, and now both mythology and religion are powerless to move the modern mind. So — the search for the inner vision must be direct." According to Saraceni, the modern artist paints the inner vision in a private language that cannot be readily understood by the public and that "is perilously easy to fake" should the source of inspiration run dry. Saraceni's view of faking is echoed in an interview with Picasso in which Picasso says that in most of his work he has been pandering to the idle wealthy "with all the changing oddities which passed through my head, and the less they understood me, the more they admired me." Picasso calls himself "only a public entertainer who has understood his times and exploited as best he could the imbecility, the vanity, the cupidity of his contemporaries." Picasso does not use the word "fake," but he is saying that many of his paintings are not genuine works of art because of the spirit in which they were painted.
