ONCE UPON A TIME…
“One day seven years ago [I] found myself saying - I can’t live where I want to - I can’t go where I want to - I can’t even say what I want to - school and things that painters have taught me even keep me from painting as I want to. I decided I was a very stupid fool not to at least paint as I wanted to and say what I wanted to when I painted as that seemed to be the only thing I could do that didn’t concern anybody but myself - that was nobody’s business but my own…I found that I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say in any other way - things that I had no words for. Some of the wise men say it is not painting, some of them say it is. ”
(Georgia O’Keeffe. qtd.in in Stokstad.22)
