"Everybody thinks they know what art should be. But very few of them have the sense that is necessary to experience painting, that is the sense of sight, that sees colors and forms as living reality in the picture."
German Painter
1891 - 1969
I am fascinated by the artist's ability to see the world in terms of shapes and colors. It is like having a second sight. What is even more remarkable is that the artist is then able to reproduce on canvas what his mind sees. For a writer, the equivalent may be his ability to hear words and how they flow together to form a story. Or maybe there is no equivalent. How do you see the world? Through the eyes of an artist? Or through the eyes of a writer? Can you see shapes and colors when you look at the world? Do you hear the words in your mind as you put them on paper?
