QUOTATION # 4

“An artist’s words are always to be taken cautiously.

The finished work is often a stranger to, and sometimes very much at odds with what the artist felt, or wished to express

. . . The artist who discusses the so-called meaning of his work is usually describing a literary side-issue.

The core of his original impulse is to be found, if at all, in the work itself.”
