Art is about selective memory,
Art is about anxious accumulation,
Art is an image of ourself.
Art is an image of unseen beautiful pictures.
In modernism, art becomes a philosophical enterprise rather than an artistic one. The driving purpose of modernism is not to do art but to find out what art is.
Stephen Hicks, Avoiding theory like the plague
Art is to humor and desirability
An intense curiosity, a desire to understand and explain what we see. The assumptions within us create plenty of misunderstandings.
