“If you look at what you call the enduring thing in a painting, really it’s its inscape, how much of the human mind was engaged in the making of that painting, how much energy of the mind is still in it and remains in it …. outwardly it may not appear to be of any kind of dynamism ….. but leave it alone and it will operate itself on the mind.”

Tony O’Malley, Irish Artist (1913-2003)
