If a painting really works down in your heart and changes the way you see, and think, and feel, you don't think, 'oh, I love this picture because it's universal.' 'I love this painting because it speaks to all mankind.' That's not the reason anyone loves a piece of art. It's a secret whisper from an alleyway. Psst, you. Hey kid. Yes you. An individual heart-shock…A really great painting is fluid enough to work its way into the mind and heart through all kind of different angles, in ways that are unique and very particular. Yours, yours. I was painted for you.
