"Art isn’t an intellectual exercise, except for the critics.
A painting is a visual phenomenon. A viewer sees it and responds - with his heart first. A good painting touches the soul like great music.
You don’t ask a composer about techniques, you respond and get with it. An artist usually has much technical knowledge but the act of creating is essentially intuitive. What the artist creates is from inner sources, the artist is only the vessel.... Children see and often are far more open to paintings than adults who think they have to explain the unknown."
