"A painting, for me, speaks by itself." Picasso

"A small group create, promote, purchase, exhibit and decide the success of art. Only a few hundred people in the world have any real say. When you go to an art gallery, you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires."
Banksy

"Everyone wants to understand art, why not try to understand the songs of a bird. Why does one love the night, flowers, everything around them, without trying to understand them. But in the case of a painting people have to understand. If only, they would realise above all, that an artist works of necessity, that he himself is only himself a trifling bit of the world and that no more importance should be attached to him than to plenty of other things that please us in the world, though we usually cant explain them."
Picasso
