"L'artiste est un réceptacle pour les émotions venant de partout; du ciel, de la terre, d'un bout de papier, du passage d'une forme, de la toile de l'araignée." The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from anywhere: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web. Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973)
