Dominic Smith
“She has no interest in the composition from ten or twenty feet—that will come later. What she wants is topography, the impasto, the furrows where sable hairs were dragged into tiny painted crests to catch the light. Or the stray line of charcoal or chalk, glimpsed beneath a glaze that’s three hundred years old. She’s been known to take a safety pin and test the porosity of the paint and then bring the point to her tongue. Since old-world grounds contain gesso, glue, and something edible—honey, milk, cheese—the Golden Age has a distinctively sweet or curdled taste.

Dominic Smith, The Last Painting of Sara de Vos

Anna Akhmatova

Oscar Hammerstein II

Gilles Deleuze, Expressionism in Philosophy: Spinoza

“I lived forever in a dream world. Though I made occasional pilgrimages to temples, I could never bring myself to pray sincerely for what most people want.”
Lady Sarashina, As I Crossed a Bridge of Dreams
