Ours senses react to surfaces. We see them; we touch, taste, and feel them. It is only after this initial confrontation that we can judge. My work is, for me, a celebration of this immediate reaction.” (Mary Pratt, Catalogue, London Regional Art Gallery, 1981) “My only strength is finding something where most people would find nothing.” “I can't stand theory because it is imposed by the intellectual. And the intellectual is, by definition, not a creative person. The intellectual is a person who talks about the creative process, but often doesn't understand it.” “The fact is that until I saw paintings as icons, I couldn't see why people painted at all.” http://www.art-quotes.com/auth_search.php?name=mary+pratt#.XlWP-UBFwy8 Art Quotes Extent 35cm diameter Medium Print Provenance Purchased from Aggregation Gallery.
