fannie hillsmith -- "spring park (central park)" (1941)

"i endeavor to find a personal way to express in painting the basic qualities of nature. i try to combine the structural with the intimate and to secure simplicity by using few colors and shapes, to acquire variation by using these in diverse ways throughout the canvas" ... fannie hillsmith

"they sat together in the park as the evening sky grew dark she looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones 'twas then he felt alone" ... bob dylan

"i am interested in abstract art, but i am also interested in the message—the problem is to convey feeling with the impact of the abstract" ... fannie hillsmith

"i just want to go through central park and watch folks passing by. spend the whole day watching people. i miss that" ... barack obama

"we looked together at the art i didn't know quite where to start she looked at me, and i felt smart but knew that wasn't true i knew not what to do i wished i had a clue and waited for an idea out of the blue" ... al janik
