Motherwell Quotes" |

+ Most painting in the European tradition was painting
the mask. Modern art rejected all that. Our subject
matter was the person behind the mask.
+ Art is much less important than life, but what
a poor life without it.
+ In printmaking, I essentially use the same process
as in painting with one important exception.. to
try, with sensitivity to the medium to emphasize
what printing can do best.. better than say, painting
or collaging or watercolour or drawing or whatever..
Otherwise, the artist expresses the same vision
in graphics that he does in his other work.
+ The public history of modern art is the story
of conventional people not knowing what they are
dealing with.
