Painting in the Studio of Andre Emmerich

I kept those paintings rolled up for all the years, for over 30 years, like carpets in the studio. It was the romance. You go Muless' book, the New York, the New Arts scene. I got it when I was very young and I saw the pictures of these painters in their studios. And I was like, what did it take to be that? No. What do you have to do to be strong enough to withstand it?
