“I make art in and for the experience itself — to satisfy a need to express myself in a creative, colorful, non-verbal way.”

Robert Fulghum (1937) American writer

Introduction to the Art gallery at his website (2006) http://robertfulghum.com/index.php/fulghumweb/artshowentry/introduction2/ <br class="br">Context: I don&#x27;t do art to address other people but to address myself. I&#x27;ve never done art with a thought of being a professional artist who makes a living by selling his art. I&#x27;ve never had a commercial show in a gallery. I suppose I&#x27;m like those who write poetry or songs without seeking publication. I make art in and for the experience itself — to satisfy a need to express myself in a creative, colorful, non-verbal way.
