Practice List 6.10.2009






A great quote:

“ I have to be honest, I have to bring bad news. The bad news is that I believe that an artist is an artist because he chooses not to tamper with reality; he chooses not to better reality. The creative mind comes at a price, so ultimately, an artist makes an ethical choice - he deals not so much with the world of ideas, but with the world of forms. And the world of forms does not make deals.”

- Francesco Clemente
