I believe that art is an expression of what people feel and want. In order for a painting to be "good" two things are necessary: that there be a communion of belief and desire between artist and spectator; that the artist be able to see and say something that enriches the fund of communicable feeling and the medium for expressing it.

Quote of the day

Franz Kafka
