William Kentridge
“The most important part is the process. It is the actual living and doing and making.”
Barbara Kasten
“Art isn’t a material, it’s not a medium—it’s not a certain product. It is the choices I’ve been able to make.”
Liz Magor
“Drawing is like practicing the piano, because the first ones that I do often don’t come out so I have to practice.”
Joan Jonas
“Beauty is just kind of an accident. Beauty is just a happenstance. Beauty is the remainders of being a painter.”
