Eric Fischl quotes

My primary thing is to make a painting, not necessarily to make a painting to sell for gazillions of dollars, but just to make a painting. (Eric Fischl)

Eric Fischl
I think making art is something where you think you know, you also know you don't know and you hope - all these things are in play all the time. I think it's what makes the excitement of creativity for the artist. View quote
