One day I went resolutely to Copenhagen, saw a small art work and decided to paint.

Up until then I had never held a brush in my hand, nor have I had any training in the visual arts, other than pedestrian watching.

"- And yet. Who said - I can't remember - "there are no ghosts in Van Gogh's pictures"? Well, we've got a ghost story on our hands here all right. But we should wait until there are more than two of us before we start"

(DERRIDA, Restitutions of the Truth in Pointing)
