What goes through the mind of an artist?
“Art is the illusion of spontaneity.” Utagawa Kunisada
“Instead of trying to paint exactly what I see before me,
I make more arbitrary use of colour to express myself more forcefully.” Vincent van Gogh
“Practice what you know,
and it will help to make clear what now you do not know.” Rembrandt van Rijn
“Each superfluous line, each wrongly placed line, any colour placed without veneration or care,
can spoil everything – that is, the SPIRITUAL.” Theo van Doesburg
“I assure you no art was ever less spontaneous than mine.
What I do is the result of reflection and study of the great masters;
of INSPIRATION, SPONTANEITY, TEMPERAMENT.” Edgar Degas
