"No, painting is not made to decorate apartments. It's an offensive and defensive weapon against the enemy."--Pablo Picasso
"The sublimity of man manifests itself not in the purity and nobility of his impulses and motives but in the alchemy of his soul, which transmutes meanness and savagery into things of beauty and into thoughts and visions which reach unto heaven....We cope best with the devil not by fighting him but by using him."--Eric Hoffer
Great art, with its power to sublimate the darkness within us, has always been a liberating force.
