- Pierre Auguste Renoir
The position of the artist if humble. He is essentially a channel.
- Piet Mondrian

Thanks for the mention of my art and my blog.
In return, and befitting your topic here, one of my favorite OKeefe quotes.
“I often painted fragments of things because it seemed to make my statement as well as or better than the whole could.”
Maybe that’s my excuse for tearing things up and then reassembling them. back to my pile of scraps.

Susan, I had not heard this quote from O’Keefe before.
And she is not even known for being a collage artist!
The quote which is hanging over my work table is
“Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does, the better.” Andre Gide
