Inspiration

Paintings and photos say much more than words can.  Often words about art are superfluous, or worse.  But the right words can inspire or make us think.  This page collects words that help show the way.

The point of art "is to establish a corridor between us and the infinite."

-Vincent Desidero

"Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing.  Making your unknown known is the important thing -- and keeping the unknown always beyond you.  Catching, crystalizing your simpler vision of life -- only to see it turn stale compared to what you vaguely feel ahead -- that you must always keep working to grasp."

-Georgia O'Keefe

"The search for truth necessarily takes the form of a  depiction of error."

-Proust

"One works without thinking how to work.”

-Jasper Johns
