Famous Kate Kretz Quotes

“Artistic "style" that does not evolve as a result of a natural process is the embodiment of "fake it till you make it," referring to the way something APPEARS, not the way that it IS. It's a veneer, a hollow afterthought technique hung on the artwork to dress it up... I prefer to think in terms of the artist's VOICE. Voice is deeper, manifested from the very core of your being. You earn it through research, experimentation, and discovery. It is a synthesis of the experiences, intellectual concepts, and aesthetic interests you possess, executed in your distinctive way, in the formal, emotional and intellectual language of your chosen medium. When successful, the realization of your voice follows the gestalt principle. The combination of your ideas and the work's physical embodiment is greater than the sum of its parts and distinguishes your outcome from everyone else's.”

“It is frightening for me to hear freshman art students talk about "branding," because, know it or not, they represent the last frontier. If the artists give up, there is no one else left. If we throw away our agency, being seduced into a corporate mentality so we can simply make our product to get our piece of the pie, we put another nail in the coffin of art's higher power.”
