Terrifying existence and this crushing world

Robert Morris: "We have only to experience late Donatello or Cézanne or Titian or Goya to see that it is in old age  that the most extraordinary art is made by those  few survivors who realise how terrifying existence is, and at the end of life live totally in their art to escape this crushing world."
