“Imagination has seized power.
[L’imagination prend le pouvoir.]”
—Graffito. Paris ‘68, ch. 2, Marc Rohan (1988)
“When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it—a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand—as a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there’s a clash between the two, it is bad art.”
—Marc Chagall (1889–1985)
