Too many people spouting too many words, and in the end those words will turn to bullets and stones.
To talk about paintings is not only difficult but perhaps pointless too. You can only express in words what words are capable of expressing-- what language can communicate. Painting has nothing to do with that.

Your cat has no words, but it has considerable feeling for the architecture of the sentence in relation to the problem of expressing climax.
The modern artist... is working and expressing an inner world - in other words - expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces.
Trump can be damned to all hell with his enclosed little world in which no thought is possible. But it's the encouraging of half the people of America and many more besides to hate words, hate what words can do, hate thought, hate the liberal, the sophisticated, the metropolitan. It's anger-making.
