The Camel's Hump, Edward Hopper
`I find, in working, always the disturbing intrusion of elements not a part of my most interested vision, and the inevitable obliteration and replacement of this vision by the work itself as it proceeds. The struggle to prevent this decay is, I think, the common lot of all painters to whom the invention of arbitrary forms has lesser interest.'
Edward Hopper 1940





Maga's Daughter, Andrew Wyeth c. 1966
"...one's art goes only as far and as deep as one's love goes. I see no reason ...but that. If I have anything to offer, it is my emotional contact with the place where I live and the people...."
Andrew Wyeth 1960
