Mexican Day of the Dead Print

“One sees clearly only with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes.”

“If the world were clear, art would not be.”

“Only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees.”

“But where are the snows of yesteryear?”

“Art is born of constraints, lives of struggles, and dies of freedom.”

“Sight does not master the pictures, it is the pictures which master one's sight. They flood one's consciousness.”

“Common sense tells us that the things of the earth exist only a little, and that true reality is only in dreams.”

“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.”

“Only children know what they are looking for.”

“Art is the premonition of truth.”

“Perfumes, colors, and sounds respond to one another.”

“Tears fall in my heart as rain falls on the town.”

“The sky is pretty like an angel.”

“To create is always to speak of childhood.”

“Genius is childhood rediscovered at will.”

“One must be absolutely modern.”

“Art hovers around the truth, but with the firm intention not to burn itself.”

“Art is the reflection that the dazzled human soul gives back of the splendor of the beautiful.”
