"Hope"
George Frederick Watts (1817-1904) "Technically you can say that he is greasy and sweaty, and that he doesn't belong in the first class of painters. But still...there is something about that
man I can't get over with. 'Hope' as motiv is also the most sublime in european cultural life. Watts interests me because he takes notice in ethical questions: life and death, love, good and evil- and all of this great big concepts and definitions."
