“The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.” ArtArtistLossAudienceModernArt IsConcernArchitectureProgressiveModern Art Author:Paul Gauguin
“The modern artist is living in a mechanical age and we have a mechanical means of representing objects in nature such as the camera and photograph. The modern artist, it seems to me, is working and expressing an inner world - in other words - expressing the energy , the motion and the other inner forces ... the modern artist is working with space and time , and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.” WorldMeanFeelingsSeemsAgeArtistEnergyForceSpaceModernObjectsCamerasPhotographTime And SpaceRepresentingInner WorldModern ArtIllustrating Author:Jackson Pollock
“Well, method is, it seems to me, a natural growth out of a need, and from a need the modern artist has found new ways of expressing the world about him. I happen to find ways that are different from the usual techniques, which seems a little strange at the moment, but I don't think there's anything very different about it. I paint on the floor and this isn't unusual - the Orientals did that.” ThinkingWorldWayNeedsWellsLittlesDifferentMomentsSeemsHappensArtistFoundGrowthNaturalModernStrangeMethodPaintTechniqueUnusualUsualNew WaysModern Art Author:Jackson Pollock
