"I painted a lot of angels back there. God sends angels to try to clear up some of this trouble on Earth. I don't listen to the Man, I look up to heaven. It's a habit I got. I paint Jesus Christ a lot. I admire Rembrandt, and he painted a lot of pictures of Christ. Sometimes I like to paint where they're taking Christ off the cross." (Interviews with Purvis Young by William Arnett and Larry Clemons in 1994 and 1995, https://www.soulsgrowndeep.org/artist/purvis-young)
