San Loretto

“I have a painting—unfinished painting, but a kind of painting, you know? And then I get in the conversation with this painting. The painting tells me something. I ask it, why this—there is this lake there, and why these colors and so? And then after this conversation, after this analysis, I go back to the painting. And that’s—it repeats several times, until the painting is finished.” – Anselm Kiefer
