The
job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.
Francis Bacon
Every good painter paints what he is.
Jackson Pollock
All my life I have worked to be able to earn my living, but I thought
that one could do good painting without attracting attention to one's
private life. Certainly, an artist wishes to raise himself intellectually
as much as possible, but the man must remain obscure. The pleasure
must be found in the work.
Paul Cezanne
