“There's actually a disdain for the conversation about audience in the art world.

“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?

I don't believe in those distinctions.” PeopleIfsThinkingWorldBelieveArtCareSpiritualArtistDifferencesSeeingTroubleTruth IsDon't BelieveEntertainmentDistinctionVersusSaying The TruthArt Life Author:Eric Fischl

You have some obligation to get the work out there, you believe in it enough that it should be out in the public, but of course it goes through a system that takes it pretty far away from the reasons you made them.” ShouldBelieveArtMadeDifferentReasonEnoughPurposeCoursesArt IsWork OutObligationMake SenseFar AwayPurpose Of Art Author:Eric Fischl
“[Barack] Obama's executive amnesty has been frozen via a stay by a judge on the appellate court. You remember, this is the judge that discovered the Defense Department lawyers were lying to him in open court, and instead of actually sanctioning them, he demanded that they go to a new ethics course to learn the proper behavior and decorum and the law in court, that you just can't lie with impunity to a judge.” Has BeensRememberLawLyingCoursesJudgingBehaviorEthicsCourtDefenseLawyerBarackDepartmentExecutivesFrozenImpunityAmnestyDecorum Author:Rush Limbaugh
