“It's also one of these strange points where metaphysics converges with economy. Because really what the experts are doing is creating value by banishing doubt. All great dead painters basically have this one person, this expert who has the metaphysical power to grant a seal of authenticity.” PersonsValuesEconomyDoubtStrangeCreatingAuthenticityPainterExpertsGrantsMetaphysicsMetaphysicalSealsCreating Value Author:Daniel Kehlmann
“Obviously, everything has always been defined by the dominant ideology. But the dominant ideology has been able to accept women's literature as well as men's literature. I would say that women have been hindered from creating for a variety of reasons, as Virginia Woolf so admirably explained in A Room of One's Own. When they have created, on the whole they have been recognized. In literature it hasn't been nearly as oppressive as in, say, painting, where even the existence of so many women painters has always been denied.” MenWellsHas BeensReasonWholeAbleLiteratureRoomsExistenceAcceptingPaintingCreatingPainterIdeologyDefinedVarietyDeniedDominantVirginiaWoolf Author:Simone de Beauvoir
“That's one thing that's always, like, been a difference between, like, the performing arts, and being a painter, you know. A painter does a painting, and he paints it, and that's it, you know. He has the joy of creating it, it hangs on a wall, and somebody buys it, and maybe somebody buys it again, or maybe nobody buys it and it sits up in a loft somewhere until he dies. But he never, you know, nobody ever, nobody ever said to Van Gogh, 'Paint a Starry Night again, man!' You know? He painted it and that was it.” KnowsMenDoeArtSaidJoyNightDiesDifferencesOne ThingPaintingWallCreatingPaintPainterPerformingVansPerforming ArtsStarry Night Author:Joni Mitchell
