“All art is fundamentally subversive, because it upsets people's perceptions, their notions about society. Therefore, art is dangerous, but good art is always making us reassess our thoughts and feelings about how we relate to other people. There are always people who fear that and want to suppress that.” PeopleWantArtFeelingsDangerousPerceptionArt IsNotionRelateUpsetOur ThoughtsSubversiveGood ArtThoughts And Feelings Author:John Boorman
“Think about it: you've already related it down to something that somebody else can understand. If art relates to something - it's like Picasso, it's like Mondrian - it's not. Art's supposed to be what it is. Using a reference of art history might help for some kind of sales, but it doesn't really help anybody. Art is what it is; it cannot be footnoted, until it enters the world. Then it has a history. Then the footnotes are the history, not the explanation.” IfsThinkingWorldKindArtHelpingMightArt IsSupposed To BeRelateExplanationRelatedArt HistoryFootnotes Author:Lawrence Weiner
“Contemporary art is based on that an artist is supposed to go into art history in the same way as an art historian. When the artist produces something he or she relates to it with the eye of an art historian/critic. I have the feeling that when I am working it is more like working with soap opera or glamour. It is emotional and not art criticism or history of art.” WayArtFeelingsEyeArtistProduceEmotionalArt IsCriticismCriticsContemporaryRelateWorking ItHistorianOperaSoapGlamourArt HistorySoap OperasContemporary Art Author:Odd Nerdrum
