“Abstraction is real, probably more real than nature.” -Josef Albers
“The work of art must seize upon you, wrap you up in itself, carry you away. It is the means by which the artist conveys his passion; it is the current which he puts forth which sweeps you along in his passion.” ―Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Happy 174th birthday to the impressionist master!
“All my works [consist] of a dialectic between the conscious (straight lines, designed shapes, weighed color, abstract language) and the unconscious (soft lines, obscured shapes, automatism) resolved into a synthesis."
