Art Quotes
“Every bit of me is devoted to love and art. And I aspire to try to be a teacher to my young fans who feel just like I felt when I was younger. I just felt like a freak. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm trying to liberate them, I want to free them of their fears and make them feel that they can make their own space in the world.”

-- David Hockney

“Venice is the perfect place for a phase of art to die. No other city on earth embraces entropy quite like this magical floating mall.”
