Eddie the Killer 1960s Thomas Hardy's house in London. Brother hanged himself- closed and never entered.
"Complexity of gouts, smears, scrumbles, dans and dribbles [of oil painting...] That subtle density of surface can parallel the elaborate skein of elastic muscles, bone and skin"
Of Michelangelo's Pieta (1499)- sculpture of the naked, dead Christ cradles by the Madonna was: two people, together again. 'The church itself is like the most expensive junk shop in the world, with that horrible smell of incense. But in the middle of all that there was this beautiful thing, full of feeling.'

- "Etching is a differnet visual language from painting. Some artists who specialised in it, such as Jacques Callot int eh early 17th C., and Pranesi in the 18th, scarely painted at all. A few great figures, Rembrant above all, excelled at both. This is no guarantee, however that ability in one medium will lead to success in the other."
