I read an old issue of the Atlantic Magazine and Mr. Eliot recounted another quote from Matisse- that must have been in the same interview quoted in the blog. The quote was the answer to a question, I recall, that Eliot asked Matisse-"What advice would you give a young artist?" and Matisse answered "Do not lose your naivete- it is the only thing that you really have" if I remember it correctly. It struck me, and still reverberates through my mind. Great article and a great writer In response to the quote from Matisse.
