Gottfried Helnwein Quotes:
Ocupation: Fine artist
Life: b. October 8, 1948
Birthday: October 8
When I started to paint, I painted children because I just felt that I wanted to take their side. What always upset me was how children are getting abused simply because they are physically weaker and not capable of defending themselves - how they get raped, enslaved and killed. I never understood why some people seemed to have fun causing pain to someone smaller.
