Quotes by John Yau (?)

“Only half the story is true. The rest is necessary.”

“You should understand that I did not want you to read a painting. I/ wanted you to bathe in it before words domesticated the experience,/ and you turned to such stand-bys as "illumination" and "transcendent"/ to describe what happened to you. Painting should not be sentenced to/ sentences.”
― John Yau, Further Adventures in Monochrome
