Camille Pissarro: "Paint the essential character of things.."

‣ "Painting, art in general, enchants me. It is my life. What else matters? When you put all your soul into a work, all that is noble in you, you cannot fail to find a kindred soul who understands you, and you do not need a host of such spirits. Is not that all an artist should wish for?"

‣ "Dipingi solo con i tre colori fondamentali e i loro immediati complementari".

Camille Pissarro | Quotes / Aforismi

Eduard Zentšik, 1975 | Surrealist painter

Eduard Zentšik is a contemporary Estonian genre-busting artist.

In his creative work, he has managed to unite localness with globality, to shatter one’s hope for the result awaited from the artist, to put up a serious façade with ease whilst playing an ironical game with unknown rules and to deceive the spectator in such a way that nobody has noted that.

It is only at first perusal that his self-positioning as "Unknown Artist Zentšik" is an offer for the spectator to believe into the primacy of the art object over the art source.
