Quotation
Quote by Joan Miró
A painting is never finished, nor is it ever begun; a painting is like the wind: something that always moves, without rest.

Understanding this quote
The quote presents painting as a continuous process rather than something with a clear beginning or final state. Comparing it to “the wind” suggests that it is always changing and moving, without reaching a permanent stopping point. A finished painting may therefore still feel connected to further change, revision, or development.
