About This Quote

This quote by the Italian painter, Vincenzo Coccia, reflects a fatalistic view of life. He was a painter of noble birth and a man who did not have to work for a living. Artists are often thought of as being outcasts in society, but he clearly did not see that as the case. When asked what he was doing in San Francisco, after having lived for many years in Italy, he responded with the words: "Taxidermy?"
