“The eloquence of the flower does not
reach us by its form or its fragrance,
but when we are aware of its identity
... A painting is like a child or like
a flower. But if we only know the child
is named Juan, and that the flower is
a rose or a hibiscus, then we know
nothing of the child or the flower.
And the same of a painting, if we only
pay attention to its representation.”
René Portocarrero, Anotaciones
en Orden a la Pintura, Revista Islas,
No. 22, 1966.
