Hedda Sterne

 Hedda Sterne, Romanian-American painter (1910-2011)

"In our time, artists are inclined to believe that art is like honey, the product of their own subconsciouses, their own minds, and I do not. I see myself as a well-working lens, a perceiver of something that exists independently of me: don’t look at me, look at what I’ve found." Patterns of Thought: Hedda Sterne – ARTnews.com
