“Toch zijn er mensen die in die logica − dus dat je je concentreert op de meest futiele details zoals stof op een bureau of vliegenpoepjes op een schilderij − de enige manier zien om de waarheid te doorgronden. Misschien zien ze het zelfs als het definitieve bewijs van die waarheid. Er zijn kunsthistorici die dat beweren. Goed, zij beweren weliswaar niet dat ze vliegenpoepjes op een schilderij zien, maar wel dat ze, als ze bijvoorbeeld moeten bepalen of een schilderij echt is of niet, enkel kijken naar de minst belangrijke details. In hun visie richten kunstvervalsers zich op de hoofdkenmerken, zoals de ronde vorm van een gezicht, of een lichaamshouding, die ze vervolgens perfect nabootsen. Maar ze kijken zelden naar de kleine, marginale details, zoals oorbellen, of de nagels van vingers of tenen. Daardoor slagen ze er niet in het kunstwerk in al zijn facetten te reproduceren. Anderen beweren, op basis van hetzelfde idee, dat je een voorval of een object precies kunt reconstrueren, zelfs als je het niet zelf hebt meegemaakt, simpel door te kijken naar de kleine details die anderen misschien onbelangrijk vinden, zoals dat in oude fabels vaak gebeurt.”

“To live as an artist is a way of being in the world. A way of perceiving. A practice of paying attention. Refining our sensitivity to tune in to the more subtle notes. Looking for what draws us in and what pushes us away. Noticing what feeling tones arise and where they lead. Attuned choice by attuned choice, your entire life is a form of self- expression. You exist as a creative being in a creative universe. A singular work of art.”

“Beauty was expected,” Grayson replied. “Technique without artistry is worthless.” He looked down at the remains of the violin he’d destroyed. “Beauty is a lie.”

“It always seemed to me that if you could get a laugh out of something, that was good, and if you could make life more colorful than it actually was, that was good. So, any artist of individual who worked in those two directions was doing something good.”

“Longing and elation, anguish and joy — they were all there, sometimes commingling in the same canvas. It was in some ways unsettling, but compelling as well.”

“I believe, then, that the characteristic or moral elements of Gothic are the following, placed in the order of their importance: 1. Savageness. 2. Changefulness. 3. Naturalism. 4. Grotesqueness. 5. Rigidity. 6. Redundance. These characters are here expressed as belonging to the building; as belonging to the builder, they would be expressed thus: - 1. Savageness or Rudeness. 2. Love of Change. 3. Love of Nature. 4. Disturbed Imagination. 5. Obstinacy. 6. Generosity. And I repeat, that the withdrawal of any one, or any two, will not at once destroy the Gothic character of a building, but the removal of a majority of them will. I shall proceed to examine them in their order.”

“Before long a student at the art class was to initiate me into the mysteries of drink, cigarettes, prostitutes, pawnshops and left-wing thought. A strange combination, but it actually happened that way.”

“There is no true, clean, definitive way to separate the art from the artist. Art fully separated from the artist ceases, in a fundamental way, to be art at all. The artist gives the art meaning.”
