"I am against the terms 'fantasy' and 'symbolism' in themselves. All our interior world is reality--and that perhaps more so than our apparent world. To call everything that appears illogical, 'fantasy,' fairy tale, or chimera would be practically to admit not understanding nature," said the famous painter Marc Chagall over fifty years ago.

Let his notion of reality lead you as you explore the work by artists represented by the Anchor House of Artists, for often our audience is confused by our special mission: To represent the artwork by and subsidize the studio-lives of artists living with persisting mental illnesses.  Do not look for a false analysis of personality. Instead enjoy the authentic and original artwork of our artists who have claimed their destinies by faith to their vision.
