Quotes 

• Walter Keane : What are you afraid of! Just because people like my work, that means automatically it's bad?

  John Canaday : No, but it doesn't make it art either. Art should elevate, not pander. Particularly in a Hall of Education.

  Walter Keane : You have no idea! Why does someone become a critic? Because he cannot create!

  John Canaday : Oh, dear. That moldy chestnut.

  Walter Keane : Don't interrupt! You don't know what it's like to put your emotions out there, naked for the whole world to see!

  John Canaday : What emotions? It's synthetic hack work. Your masterpiece has an infinity of Keanes, which makes it an infinity of kitsch.
