Yesterday I attended The Pitman Painters, currently playing on Broadway. This play, written by Lee Hall is a delightful, incisive challenge to all artists.
A few of my favorite lines:
Oliver: Yes. I do. what I am saying is that art is making things possible that weren't there before. Don't you see? when you're painting a painting - you're painting a painting, not painting life.
Oliver: It doesn't matter who defines good and bad. When I sit down to do a painting I don't sit down to do a bad painting or a mediocre one - I sit down to do something good. I am not expressing myself if I do a bad picture - it's obvious.
