Bleu is phenomenal.

Blue Arabesque is less so.

"We aren't shocked...We're born into a landscape that we expect to be scarred."

"The mind cracks experience into jagged pieces...Admit that the fragment is our totem."

"A painting must depict the act of seeing, not the object seen."

"A looking that is itself a kind of craving. To look this way is to be possessed, lost."

"Real travel wants to be dangerous, wants to smoke out the truth of the other- providing of course you get out alive."

"Its artists refuse to serve either the future or the traditions of the past, but pledge themselves radically to the elemental gestures of human expression."

"The inability to limit the flow of reality into the mind is one definition of madness." (and of truth)

"No one who creates is blameless." - Matisse
