Art Quote by Marilyn vos Savant
“I believe Picasso's success is just one small part of the broader modern phenomenon of artists themselves rejecting serious art- perhaps partly because serious art takes so much time and energy and talent to produce-in favor of what I call 'impulse art': art work that is quick and easy, at least by comparison.”
