Doris McCarthy quotes:

You are actually constructing... what your head understood about what your eyes saw.

Take a moment to think... See - logically.

Writing gave me a second chance - not to change things, but to savor them. That is a great gift.

The real function of the artist is to give fresh vision to their own generation.

My paintings are so legible, I feel guilty.

I don't want to see any art-writing gobbledygook or overblown words in an essay about me. If a smaller, simpler word will do - use it.
