Grace Hartigan quotes

Pop Art is not painting because painting must have content and emotion. (Grace Hartigan)
I didn't choose painting ... It chose me. I didn't have any talent. I just had genius. View quote
Grace Hartigan
In painting I try to make some logic out of the world that has been given to me in chaos. I have a very pretentious idea that I want to make life, I want to make sense out of it. The fact that I am doomed to failure - that doesn't deter me in the least. View quote
Grace Hartigan
Now as before it is the vulgar and the vital and the possibility of its transformation into the beautiful which continues to challenge and fascinate me... Or perhaps the subject of my art is like the definition of humor - emotional pain remembered in tranquillity. View quote
