Paul Delvaux 1897 ~ 1994
"I need solitude. Even if it sometimes weights upon me. Once one had decided to paint, one must sacrifice all else to art. Painting must become one's only occupation. There is no question of living like everybody else. For example, raising a family."
"I would like to create a fabulous painting in which I would live, in which I could live."
Paul Delvaux
