“You must be painter who takes a canvas and does what he likes with it.”
Michelangelo Antonioni (1912–2007) Italian film director and screenwriter
Encountering Directors interview (1969)
Context: You must be painter who takes a canvas and does what he likes with it. We are more like painters in past centuries who were ordered to paint frescoes to specific measurements. Among the people in the fresco may be a bishop, the prince's wife, etc. The fresco isn't bad simply because the painter used for models people from the court of the prince who ordered and paid for it.
