On a BBC show on Venetian Art, it was said that Venetian art had a compelling unorthodox originality.

But until Titian, Venetians were accused of failure to elevate painting out of the material world to an expression of an idea.

Random Quote

…father remembered the composer John Cage saying to him during the 1950’s often came to his mind: ”When you start working, everybody is in your studio – the past, your friends, enemies, the art world, and above all, your own ideas – all are there. But as you continue, they start leaving one by one, and you are left completely alone. Then, if you’re lucky, even you leave.”

— From My Father, Phillip Guston
