is in front of him, but one who tries to create something which is, in itself,

Art shouldn't be something that you go quietly into an art gallery and dip your
forelock and say 'I have to be very quiet, I'm in here amongst the art.' It's
here, art's everywhere. It's how you use your eyes. It's about the enjoyment of
visual things. And it's certainly not for any one group of people. |

+ Make sure you love art and don't do it if you don't, because you'll be
found out. Don't listen to the teachers. And feel it. Do it because you can't
do anything else. Once you've decided, don't do anything else, because as someone
once said, "art is long". |

whereas soul refers to something possibly long.. suffering, where meanings are
made, where there is a sense of this gathering of perceptions, that our death
is not the most important thing, nor our life. |

+ I think a single sentence by Van
Gogh is better than the whole work of all the art critics and art historians
put together. |

I like living in the 20th century.. to me the world has never been more beautiful.
I am trying to paint the real world I live in, as beautifully as I can with my
own eyes. |
