Picasso is An Investment!
Although the French public at first said only
that cubism was crazy, a leading art merchant added,
“I am now buying Picasso and not because I have
any taste for him but because he will be worth a lot of money some day”.

POOR BALZAC!
Honere de Balzac lived many years in a cold and
all but an empty attic. There was no flame in his fire place, no picture on his
wall. But on one wall he inscribed with charcoal,
Rosewood panelling with commode; on another
Gobelin tapestry with Venetian mirror, and in the place of honour over the
fireless grate,
Picture by Raphael.
(Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, which presents a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus.)

COLOUR BRAIN
When someone asked the famous painter Orpen
How do you mix your colours?
He answered
“With brains, sir.”
(Major Sir William Newenham Montague Orpen, KBE, RA, RHA, was an Irish artist who worked mainly in London. Orpen was a fine draughtsman and a popular, commercially successful, painter of portraits for the well-to-do in Edwardian society, though many of his most striking paintings are self-portraits.)

STORMY TURNER
The artist Turner invited Charles Kingsley, the
author, to his studio to view his picture of a storm at sea. Kingsley was
wrapped in admiration .
How did you do it, Turner? He exclaimed.
I wished to paint a storm at sea, answered
Turner, so I went to the coast of Holland and engaged a fisherman to take me
out in his boat in the next storm. The storm was brewing, and I went down to
his boat and bade him bind me to its mast. Then he drove the boat out into the
teeth of the storm. The storm was so furious that I longed to be down in the
bottom of the boat and allow it to blow over me. But I could not; I was bound
to the mast. Not only did I see the storm and feel it, but it blew into me till
I became part of the storm. And then I came back and I painted that picture “
Joseph Mallord William Turner RA, known as J. M. W. Turner 1775-1851,and contemporarily as William Turner, was an English Romantic painter, printmaker and watercolourist. He is known for his expressive colourisations, imaginative landscapes and turbulent, often violent marine paintings
