Marc is quite religious – for some people even too much so. He never talks about it with me, although I often exchange thoughts and ideas with him. I’m not a believer, but I do believe in believing, for some people and provided it is not too institutionalised. I fell in love with Velasquez’s ”Christ Crucified” the very first time I saw it in the Prado. It is the most exquisite painting that I know. The St. Matthew Passion by Bach is for me the most beautiful piece of music and Aafje Heynis has the most beautiful voice to accompany it.
Maybe you don’t need to talk about it. Maybe it’s best to just let yourself be tempted to share your talents generously with the world. Generosity is one of the few human traits that requires no counterbalance. If everyone has a lot of it, life just becomes better and more enjoyable. And thanks to the lavish way in which Marc spreads his talent around, we have gained a sublime exhibition in the new gallery.
