Why
do you try to understand art? Do you try to understand
the song of a bird?
:::
Pablo
Picasso
:::
Painting is the most beautiful of all arts. In it,
all sensations are condensed; contemplating it,
everyone can create a story at the will of his imagination
and.. with a single glance.. have his soul invaded
by the most profound recollections; no effort of
memory, everything is summed up in one instant.
A complete art which sums up all the others and
completes them.

Gauguin :::

a working artist, actually.

Tracy :::
I'm not looking for images, They
just appear and take on an interest. Sometimes you
look at a thing and it has no interest and then
you see it in a different way and it has another
meaning. Or something that was of no use will become
useful.

van Gogh :::
Oh yes! he loved yellow, this good Vincent, this
painter from Holland - those glimmers of sunlight
rekindled his soul, that abhorred the fog, that
needed the warmth.
