“There's actually a disdain for the conversation about audience in the art world. Artist to artist, if you say, "What do you think about audience?" they would probably say, "I don't think about audience, I only think about my work," yet the audience is such an important part.” IfsThinkingWorldArtImportantArtistAudienceConversationDisdainArt World Author:Eric Fischl
“Personally, I never believe an artist saying "I do it for myself" is saying the truth, because why would you go through the trouble of making something that goes out into the world if you didn't care about somebody else seeing it? It's like the difference between those who choose "more comfortably termed entertainment" versus what people think of as the "art life," which is supposedly more monastic or spiritual. I don't believe in those distinctions.” PeopleIfsThinkingWorldBelieveArtCareSpiritualArtistDifferencesSeeingTroubleTruth IsDon't BelieveEntertainmentDistinctionVersusSaying The TruthArt Life Author:Eric Fischl
