William-Adolphe Bouguereau - One has to seek Beauty...

It is the painting that presents the eye with perfection, the kind of beautiful and impeccable enamel you find in Veronese and Titian. (William-Adolphe Bouguereau)

Philip Roth

The kind of painting which I find exciting is not necessarily representational or non-representational, but it is musical and architectural... Whether this visual relationship is slightly more or slightly less abstract is, for me, beside the point.
