About the Artist

“When I use a picture,” Humpty Dumpty said in a rather scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less.”
“The question is,” said Alice, “wether you can make pictures mean so many different things.”
“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master – that’s all.”
