Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Quotes
A primitive power of artistic sensuousness speaks from the prints, which itself develops directly from the graphic technique that is tied to painstaking effort.

Every interview is as much an impression of the journalist as it is the artist or subject. You look at interviews and you see a portrait of two people.
