More on time

We work not only to produce but to give value to time. (Eugene Delacroix)


Paul Gauguin
The public wants to understand and learn in a single day, a single minute, what the artist has spent years learning. (Paul Gauguin)


People have inquired about how long an art piece has taken, as if it has more value the longer it takes to create.
I often say it has taken me 30 years to paint that picture. Everything I did or learnt was leading up to that creation.
