To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself.
Georges Braque
Image
I thought that from the moment someone else could do the same as myself, there was no difference between the pictures and they should not be signed. Afterwards I realized it was not so and began to sign my pictures again. Picasso had begun again anyhow.

Art is a wound turned into light.
Georges Braque
