They're at almost opposite ends of the scale, so I feel it was good training.
Genevieve O'Reilly

A great work of art is one that truly moves and inspires you. You yourself must be moved. Don't look at art with others' eyes. Don't listen to music with others' ears. You must react to art with your own feelings, your own heart and mind.
