I also often hear the word evolution. Repeatedly I am asked to explain how my paintings evolved. To me there is nop past or future in art. If a work cannot live always in the present it must not be considered at all. The art of the Greeks, of the Egyptians, of the great painters who lived in other times, is not an art of the past; perhaps it is more alive today than it ever was. Art does not evolve by itself, the ideas of people change and with then their mode of expression. /../ Variation does not mean evolution. If an artis varies his mode of expression this only means that he has changed his manner of thinking, and in changing, it might be for the better or ti might be for the worse." (Pablo Picasso)
