Quotations:
"Some people who look at abstract art say 'I could do that.' A good response is, 'Go ahead but then you'll be accused of copying'."
"Make a child a painting and he'll be happy for a day. Teach a child to paint and he'll be miserable for a lifetime."
"What makes you think painting is any less difficult than brain surgery?"
"Without intent all painting is meaningless."
