“Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.” –Winston Churchill
I read this quote for the first time on Thursday, while watching this video of art student David Popa (Gordon College, Wenham, MA) .
I was struck by the quote itself, but also by how perfectly his work embodies it. It inspired me to keep studying art history, and to continue to explore.
