"We are all works in progress" Carmen Dell'Orefice

"Look at light and admire its beauty. Close your eyes, and then look again: what you saw is no longer there; and what you will see later is not yet" Leonardo da Vinci
“If you know before you see, you can’t see for knowing” Terry Frost
“The beauty one can find in art is one of the pitifully few real and lasting products of human endeavour.” J. Paul Getty
“Painting is just another way of keeping a diary” Pablo Picasso
"All art is propaganda but not all propaganda is art" George Orwell
"They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself." Andy Warhol
It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchangeable colour to every object; beware of this stumbling block” Paul Gauguin
"Great art stretches the taste, it doesn't follow tastes," Steve Jobs

“The seconds, the minutes, the hours, the days, the weeks, the months, the years flow from an inexhaustible reserve of Future to become transformed inexorably into the Past. From decades to centuries, from centuries to millennia, History darkens into Prehistory, to vanish into the night of bio-, geological and astral ages. The present is only infinitesimal, and yet man has always tried to fix, to prolong, to ‘eternalise’ this present, conscious of his finality…” Vasarely
“Painting is like writing a book” Ridley Scott
"It doesn't matter how the paint is put on, as long as something is said" Jackson Pollock
“I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster, and leaves less room for lies.” Le Corbusier

"Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working" Pablo Picasso
"The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity" Alberto Giacometti
“Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things .” Edgar Degas.
