MATISSE ~ IS AN ARTIST A PRISONER?

“An artist must never be a prisoner. Prisoner? An artist should never be a prisoner of himself, prisoner of style, prisoner of reputation, prisoner of success, etc.”
Henri Matisse

GUSTAV KLIMT ~ LOOK AT MY WORK AND SEE WHO I AM

in Quoting the Artist ~ Thoughts and Thinking... by

“I have the gift of neither the spoken nor the written word, especially if I have to say something about myself or my work. Whoever wants to know something about me -as an artist, the only notable thing- ought to look carefully at my pictures and try and see in them what I am and what I want to do.”
― Gustav Klimt

Gustav Klimt, Pallas Athena, 1898
