  Francis Bacon Quotes - Artists

  Enzo Cucchi Quotes - Artists

  Angelina Jolie Quotes - Actresses
• Modigliani had too much respect for the feelings of human beings to turn them into grotesque, hostile monsters, as Picasso did. It is also the reason Modigliani’s figures are never menacing and confrontational, but seem to recede into the private space of their inner selves.
  Donald Kuspit Quotes - other artists - Art Critics

Somtimes I try to leave my narrow path and join the swirling mainstream of life, but I always find myself drawn inexorably back towards the chasm's edge, and there I shall walk until the day I finally fall into the abyss. For as long as I can remember I have suffered from a deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried to express in my art. Without anxiety and illness I should have been like a ship without a rudder.

If you are unconscious of an aspect of yourself; if it operates outside your field of awareness, that aspect has power over you.
