A common space for harmonic peacemakers
"There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted."
"An artist is an explorer. He has to begin by self-discovery and by observation of his own procedure. After that he must not feel under any constraint."
"I would like to recapture that freshness of vision which is characteristic of extreme youth when all the world is new to it."
“I have always tried to hide my efforts and wished my works to have a light joyousness of springtime which never lets anyone suspect the labors it has cost me.”
- Henri Matisse, born on New Year's Eve in (1869)
(Dec 31, 1869 – Nov 3, 1954)
