Anyone can paint like Rembrandt


from London Telegraph:
"Anyone can be like Rembrandt," he told The Guardian. "I don't think a painter like Rembrandt is a genius. It's about freedom and guts. It's about looking. It can be learnt. That's the great thing about art. Anybody can do it if you just believe. With practice you can make great paintings."

Hirst found commercial and critical success from the 1990s with his formaldehyde animals, and mass-produced spots and butterflies.
