“Ernst Kirchner: I'm glad, no proud that those brown shirts are burning my paintings. Max Klinger: What do you mean? Kirchner: Imagine how I would feel if monsters like that tolerated my work.” ArtMonstersToleranceArtistsPaintingsErnst KirchnerMax Klinger Book:Erasure Source: Erasure
“To say that a painting is like a story is a pedestrian utterance, not altogether untrue, but uninspired, though that hardly stops people from making such invidious and unwarranted comparisons. The painting that was my life was static, hardly a story at all, moving but with no moving parts, changing but without alteration.” ArtSelf Book:So Much Blue Source: So Much Blue
