“Creative art is for all time and is therefore independent of time. It is of all ages, of every land, and if by this we mean the creative spirit in man which produces a picture or a statue is common to the whole civilized world, independent of age, race and nationality, the statement may stand unchallenged.” —Alma Thomas Did you #GuessTheArtist correctly? 🌈 The answer is Alma Thomas.
