“I need to be alone. I need to ponder my shame and my despair in seclusion; I need the sunshine and the paving stones of the streets without companions, without conversation, face to face with myself, with only the music of my heart for company.”
—Henry Miller
Painting: Devin Leonardi
“I want to assassinate painting… I intend to destroy, destroy everything that exists in painting.” —Joan Miró
“lovers go and lovers come
awandering awondering
but any two are perfectly
alone there’s nobody else alive
(such a sky and such a sun
i never knew and neither did you
and everybody never breathed
quite so many kinds of yes)
…
sweet spring is your
time is my time is our
time for springtime is lovetime
and viva sweet love”
― e.e. cummings
Painting: Gerhard Richter. More.
“In the face of the obscene, explicit malice of the jungle, which lacks only dinosaurs as punctuation, I feel like a half-finished, poorly expressed sentence in a cheap novel.” —Werner Herzog
