These days I am obsessed by sculpture! I believe I have glimpsed a complete renovation of that mummified art.

A portrait, to be a work of art, neither must nor may resemble the sitter... one must paint its atmosphere.

There is neither painting, nor sculpture, nor music, nor poetry. The only truth is creation.

We must now learn to draw inspiration from the tangible miracles that surround us.

A time will come when the eye of man will perceive colors as feelings within itself.

To paint a human figure you must not paint it; you must render the whole of its surrounding atmosphere.

With Michelangelo anatomical science is transformed into music. With him the human body is architectonic matter for the construction of dreams.

Some things are private, Ethan. Even for grown-ups.

(A)nything not acting as a propaganda arm for the Democrats or the Leftist agenda is considered conservative these days.
