“When I was a younger, art was a lonely thing; no galleries, no collectors, no critics, no money, yet it was a golden age…for we all had nothing to lose and a vision to gain. Today is not quite the same; it is a time of tons of verbiage, activity, and consumption…which condition is better for the world at large? I will not venture to discuss, but I do know that many of those who are driven to this life are desperately searching for those pockets of silence where we can root and grow. We must all hope we find them.” -ROTHKO
