Catalogue Note
"To be an artist is to experience, to feel every emotion possible. An artist must know love and joy; he must know what it is to hate and to feel sorrow. I believe one cannot be known without the other. An artist must know hate before he can love, and unhappiness before he can truly know happiness."
