\u201cThe thought that a painting\u2019s only value is in itself, is alien to me. I see its meaning in the images and associations it provokes; the more numerous and various they are, the more necessary the painting is. It also reflects the humans\u2019 great community and continuity that is reflected in the very fact that we, people of the second half of the 20th century, who fly gigantic airplanes, travel in space and land on the Moon, can find pleasure in a simple and beautiful sight of a plate filled with peaches with tender velvety skin, with shades of pink and blue, or a white jar with blue ornaments and a bouquet of flowers \u2014 the same sight that might have delighted an artist who lived three centuries ago, wore a powdered wig and silk trousers, believed in God and honoured his King.”<\/p>\n
