“Artists are people who are subject to irrational convictions of the sacred. Baudelaire said that an artist is a child who has acquired adult capacities and discipline. Art education should help build those capacities and that discipline without messing over the child.” PeopleShouldChildrenArtSaidHelpingArtistSubjectsDisciplineAdultsCapacitySacredConvictionInnocenceIrrationalArt EducationBaudelaire Author:Peter Schjeldahl

“The experience of beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say. The artist's relation to the object of beauty, how the art makes that happen, is a whole other subject. Beauty is an event. Beauty is something that happens. There is no such thing as a beautiful object or a beautiful woman.” ArtWholeHappensEyeBeautifulArtistSubjectsEventsObjectsRelationBeautiful WomenBeholderEye Of The BeholderBeauty Is In The Eye Of The BeholderBeautiful Objects Author:Peter Schjeldahl
