Art is the giving by each man of his evidence to the world. Those who wish to give, love to give, discover the pleasure of giving. Those who give are tremendously strong.

I asked Geertrui the other day what she thought love is-real love, true love. She said that for her real love is observing another person and being observed by another person with complete attention. If she’s right, you only have to look at the pictures Rembrandt painted of Titus, and there are quite a lot, to see that they loved each other. Because that is what you’re seeing. Complete attention, one of the other…”but in that case,” he said, speaking the words as the thought came to him, “all art is love, because all art is about looking closely, isn’t it? Looking closely at what’s being painted.””The artist looking closely while he paints, the viewer looking closely at what has been painted. I agree. All true art, yes. Painting, Writing-literature-also. I think it is. And bad art is a failure to observe with complete attention. So, you see why I like the history of art. It’s the study of how to observe life with complete attention. It’s the history of love.
