Chagall on Nature
"The habit of ignoring Nature is deeply implanted in our times. This attitude reminds me of people who never look you in the eye; I find them disturbing and always have to look away."
Chagall on Talent
"My name is Marc, my emotional life is sensitive and my purse is empty, but they say I have talent."
Chuck Close Speaks
