“My colour has no symbolic function whatever. I don’t want any colour to
be noticeable. I want the colour to be the colour of life, so that you
would notice it as being irregular if it changed. I don’t want it to
operate in the modernist sense as colour, something independent. I don’t
want people to say, “Oh, what was that red or that blue picture of
yours, I’ve forgotten what it was.”

Lucian Freud a Painted Life

“For me, art really starts with acceptance, self trust. Wherever you come to with art, it’s perfect. You don’t have to come with anything. What you bring to something is the art. That’s where it’s found. It’s found within you.”–Jeff Koons/Rabit

“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I
thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone
just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do.  I
would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me
too.  Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know
that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.”—Frida Kahlo
