"I want paint to work as flesh."

Lucian Freud

"I also painted a study of a seascape, nothing but a bit of sand, sea, sky, grey and lonely — sometime[s] I feel a need for that silence — where there’s nothing but the grey sea — with an occasional seabird. But otherwise, no other voice than the murmur of the waves."

Vincent van Gogh, from a letter to his brother Theo, 17 September 1882 (source)
