"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Feeling.

Wyeth, River Fog, 1950


I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it ... I always want to see the third dimension of something ... I want to come alive with the object. If you clean it up, get analytical, all the subtle joy and emotion you felt in the first place goes flying out the window.

- Andrew Wyeth

This reminds me of calligraphy.
