Quotes
Orhan Pamuk
Everything repeats itself, and so the person, though dying, is not able to notice the course of time; artists draw the same drawings to the same stories - as if time does not exist.
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
Only in happy moments a talent manages to draw from points a line that the genius conducts with one stroke of a pen.
Antonen Arto
For a long time, good painting have been expressing only abstraction.
Emile Zola
A work of art is a piece of nature filtered through the temperament of the artist.
