"To keep the spirit of childhood within oneself for the whole of one's life means retaining
the curiosity of knowing
the pleasure of understanding
the desire to communicate."
–– Bruno Munari (1907-1998), Italian artist and designer

"Artists are people driven by the tension between the desire to communicate and the desire to hide."
–– Donald Woods Winnicott (1896-1971) British paediatrician and psychoanalyst
via Sketchbook 22, 2014, p. 93.
"I believe that art is an expression of what people feel and want. In order for a painting to be "good" two things are necessary: that there be a communion of belief and desire between artist and spectator; that the artist be able to see and say something that enriches the fund of communicable feeling and the medium for expressing it."
–– Romare Bearden (1911-1988), American artist
