“My art in the last period has all been in small format, but my paintings have become even deeper and more spiritual, speaking truly through colour. Feeling that because of my illness I would not be able to paint very much longer, I worked like a man obsessed on these little 'Meditations' (a long series of small paintings he made during the last years of his life, with as main motif the schema of a face, ed.). And now I leave these small but, to me, important works to the future and to people who love art.” PeopleMenYearsLittlesLongArtMadeImportantFeelingsAbleLastsFacesSpiritualMeditationPaintingPeriodsSeriesPaintIllnessDeeperObsessedColourLast YearFormatMotifsImportant WorkSchemas Author:Alexej von Jawlensky
“The thing I'm obsessed with is really great bad paintings. I have a storage locker full of them and I want to give them their own museum. You don't even know who these artists are - you can buy them at garage sales, antique stores and places like that. They're brilliant because they were done with the intention of being great, but the artist sort of made a wrong turn. Some of them are hilarious and I can't get enough of them.” KnowsWantGivingMadeI CanDoneEnoughArtistTurnsPaintingIntentionStoresBrilliantObsessedMuseumsReally GreatGarageAntiquesLockersStorageWrong TurnGarage Sale Author:Jennifer Coolidge

“Can I - do I have to be obsessed with it and proceed from that? Not always. But when I'm on top of my game, I definitely think about the way that the world sees me and the way that the world thinks about painting. You must.” ThinkingWorldWayGamesPaintingObsessed Author:Kehinde Wiley
