Absence Quote by John Berger
“Every painted image of something is also about the absence of the real thing. All painting is about the presence of absence.”
“Every painted image of something is also about the absence of the real thing. All painting is about the presence of absence.”
![“There's the artist's intimacy and truthfulness to himself, but an equal intimacy to the Other [the one drawn]. Picasso drawings are like that... the Rembrandts are like that. The artist who most often did that was Van Gogh.” quote by John Berger](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/0d1/john-berger-1590_art_there-s-the-artist-s-intimacy-and-truthf_155171.jpg)
