The arts matter because they work beyond and outside routine categories.
Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy with the proof.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Many artists do art out of irrepressible curiosity and sheer love for the subject : You're more likely to find new art if you're looking for it.
Almost every significant breakthrough in the history of visual art has come about by serendipity.
Not as a result of strategic planning or directed research.
