Art is the magic mirror you make to reflect your invisible dreams in visible pictures. You use a glass mirror… — George Bernard Shaw
Art is the magic mirror you make to reflect your invisible dreams in visible pictures. You use a glass mirror to see your face: you use works of art to see your soul. But we who are older use neither glass mirrors nor works of art. We have a direct sense of life. When you gain that you will put aside your mirrors and statues, your toys and your dolls.
