Although even when I am being idle I have plenty of food for thought both early and late - thoughts both about and not about art.
Gustav KlimtI have never painted a self-portrait. I am less interested in myself as a subject for a painting than I am in other people, above all women... There is nothing special about me. I am a painter who paints day after day from morning to night... Who ever wants to know something about me... ought to look carefully at my pictures.
Gustav KlimtEven when I have to write a simple letter I'm scared stiff as if faced with looming seasickness.
