“What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only eyes if he is a painter, ears if he is a musician, or a lyre in every chamber of his heart if he is a poet? On the contrary, he is at the same time a political being, constantly aware of the heartbreaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. How could he be indifferent to other people and withdraw into himself? In the serene atmosphere of studios and libraries, he does not forget that the world is out there. No, painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.”
