" There are a lot of artists in Gowanus, and certain things come into your visual vocabulary from living there – the scale of the subway and the canal, sometimes it almost looks like a de Chirico painting, with the intense angles of the shadows and everything. " - Dana Schutz

" I love white walls because white reflects the light and is a great backdrop for art. " - John Rocha

" When Dick Avedon died, I was so upset that I just started painting. " - China Machado

Meanwhile, a new art world was coming into being. " - Jerry Saltz

" My friends tend to be writers. I think writers and painters are really all the same-we just sit in our rooms. " - Howard Hodgkin
