Yves Klein & Da Vinci
“I adopt the cause of the colour oppressed by the line”
“I am against the line and all its consequences: contours, forms, composition. All paintings of whatever sort, figurative or abstract, seem to me like prison windows in which the lines, precisely are the bars”
– Yves Klein
“There are certainly many ambiguities within the term ‘monochrome’, for all its apparent simplicity and singularity. Incidentally, there are a great many more black or white or grey monochromes in art than chromatic ones. That’s ironic given Yves Klein’s wonderful assertion that the monochrome represents the final liberation of colour from the tyranny of line.”
– Artist David Bachelor
“To develop a complete mind:
Study the science of art, study the art of science.
Learn how to see.
Realise that everything connects to everything else”
– Da Vinci

Tom Waits For No Man
Tom Waits quoted in The Word magazine.
“Some songs,” he has learned, “don’t want to be recorded.” Fortunately, he says, other songs come easy, like “digging potatoes out of the ground”. Others are sticky and weird, like “gum found under an old table”.
Clumsy and uncooperative songs may only be useful “to cut up as bait and use ’em to catch other songs”. Of course, the best songs of all are those that enter you “like dreams taken through a straw”. In those moments, all you can be, Waits says, is grateful.
From an original article by Elizabeth Gilbert in American GQ.
The whole GQ interview is here – I’m not linking to the GQ site because it’s shit, and apparently in german.
