‘To Be an Artist Means’ — Akira Kurosawa Quote Tee | Wear Words Typographic Statement Tee — Oversized Tee

“To be an artist means never to avert one’s eyes.” Akira Kurosawa wrote this in his 1982 memoir, tracing it to the 1923 Great Kanto earthquake, when his older brother marched him through the corpse-strewn aftermath and forbade him to look away. He carried the lesson into every film: the artist’s first duty is to keep looking, especially at what the eye wants to flee.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
