Quotes
"When I say artist I mean the one who is building things ... some with a brush - some with a shovel - some choose a pen." - Jackson Pollock
"The panel must be filled in such a way that it moves the viewer into space." - Bridget Riley
"I don't believe in total freedom for the artist. Left on his own, free to do anything he likes, the artist ends up doing nothing at all. If there's one thing that's dangerous for an artist, it's precisely this question of total freedom, waiting for inspiration and the rest of it." - Federico Fellini
