Quote by Patrick Bringley

“Artists create records of transitory moments, appearing to stop their clocks.

“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.
