Picasso, on art and maturation

"Every child is an artist. 

The problem is how to remain 

an artist once he grows up."

― Pablo Picasso

Picasso, on purpose of art

The purpose of art 

is washing the dust 

of daily life 

off our souls.  

- Pablo Picasso

Van Gogh, on self-doubt

"If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced."

- Vincent Van Gogh

Writers' commentary on Fridge Art

"Despite all the masterpieces I’ve seen in museums and galleries, I finally fully grasped the value of art. Art exists to remind us of the beauty we forget about while attempting to maneuver through the difficulties in life. Even if the art stands as a testament of our bad behaviors, it still magnifies the beauty we’ve disregarded."

He complains “It’s frustrating to see people who really know nothing about the whole Refrigerator Scene and haven’t done any reading about it in college trying to define it.'"
