In an interview, on the occasion of painter Guy Warren’s 100th birthday, he said: ‘No one warned me that at 100, I was going to be busier than ever.’
It is a sentiment Warren further shared that same year with art critic John McDonald: ‘People talk about embracing the dignity of old age. F*** the dignity of old age! I don’t want to know anything about it.’
