Painting’s Shoptalk, Sayings, Axioms, Dicta, Maxims, etc, etc. -183

Discussion of reading resources and then the first of a series of presentations of the aphorisms or shoptalk on which Paul based his development as a painter. This first one focuses on numerous quotes from Gammell critiques but includes others as well.

In response to Christian

QUESTION:You have mentioned Paul Valery, the French intellectual. Can you talk about this man and his impact on Gammell's thought?
Are there any intellectuals that have influenced your thinking?
Did you teach yourself to study or have any techniques for reading the sayings of artists? I ask because you have mentioned aphorisms and C.S. Lewis as someone who interested you.
