“[A picture] hinges on having experienced something so moving that I want others to know about it.  But emotional experiences are fugitive things, violent or delicate, and of many orders.  The line between the experience itself and the memory of it is so fragile that one must use every bit of wit, skill, brain, intuition and faith one has in order to transmute it into a work of art.”  June Wyler, quoted in Conversations with Artists by Selden Rodman
