The common answer is Pablo Picasso, and he may well have said it, but he was quoting from Berthold Auerbach, a German novelist (1812 - 1882), who said “Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” long before Picasso was born (Picasso was born in 1881). 01-09-2009:Source: <a href="http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/443229" rel="nofollow">http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/443229</a> A version was on the building of Smyth's Gallery, Jervois Road, Auckland, sourced to Pablo Picasso. I love your site for its straight forward appeal and Art. I write local poetry for relaxation, so like to get my quotes sourced correctly when including them in the body of the text.

I like your work as much, if not more than his. I paint in acrylics and pastels and I find i like the more simple direct style of image. Keep on painting! I too wanted to know more about Wolf Kahn.
