Quotes: William Kentridge

"What I sometimes find is that if a drawing is going badly, you are blessed. There is no anxiety about messing it up. It needs to be messed up to be rescued. One either tears it into four pieces and then rearranges them, or erases with a cloth. It is kind of relying on a thinking in the material."

–– William Kentridge (b. 1955), South African artist

Quotes: William Kentridge

"To say that making art is a conversation or dialogue between the maker and the paper is to oversimplify –– It is a series of attractions and repulsions that may begin with intention and end with analysis but the real meaning (the truth of the work) is arrived at in the processes and moments of making." 

–– William Kentridge (b. 1955), South African artist
