Modern Art Quotes

What modern art means is that you have to keep finding new ways to express yourself, to express the problems, that there are no settled ways, no fixed approach. This is a painful situation, and modern art is about this painful situation of having no absolutely definite way of expressing yourself Picture Quote #1

That is why my pictures don’t look like modern art. It’s some sort of timidity on my part I’m sure Picture Quote #1
