"Art is the sum total of accumulated knowledge of man as expressed in any audio, visual, or physical form.

I have devoted a lifetime to the pursuit of beauty--not just natural beauty, but those things generally considered not beautiful.

Whether I have succeeded, I leave to the judgment of history and mankind.

All I know is that I would consider myself to have succeeded if my epitaph were to read 'He saw beauty, kindness, and sensitivity in all things.'"

Colin Pringle, August 2000
