Just as a musician loves music and not nightingales, and a poet loves poetry and not sunsets, a painter is not primarily a person who responds to figures and landscapes. He is primarily one who loves pictures.
Andre Malraux
Image

Andre Malraux
Image
In art, we are the first heirs of all the earth. . . . Accidents impair and Time transforms, but it is we who choose.
