What is real......is not

What is real is not the external form, but the essence of things . . . it is impossible for anyone to express anything essentially real by imitating its exterior surface."~ Brancusi "Art must be an expression of love or it is nothing." ~ Marc Chagal "We work not only to produce but to give value to time." ~ Eugene Delacroix "If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all." ~ Michelangelo "Painting is just another way of keeping a diary." ~ Pablo Picasso "I am an artist... I am here to live out loud." ~ Emile Zola
