“What's required of me in the field is to feel,' Stirton says with emphasis. 'And trying to take that feeling and put it in a form that communicates a particular set of emotions or circumstances - whether that involves depicting masculine pride, or a particular kind of suffering, or love, or closeness - my primary job is to feel and to try to put that feeling into some kind of visual form. My goal is to get to the heart of each story, you know? I’m trying to evolve in my work.” KnowsFeelsTryingHeartKindStoriesFeelingsJobsFormSufferingGoalEmotionFieldsParticularPrideCircumstancesCommunicatePrimariesEvolveVisualsEmphasisMasculineCloseness Author:Antonella Gambotto-Burke

“Marcel Duchamp, one of this century's pioneers, moved his work through the retinal boundaries which had been established with Impressionism into a field where language, thought and vision act upon one another. There it changed form through a complex interplay of new mental and physical materials, heralding many of the technical, mental and visual details to be found in more recent art... He declared that he wanted to kill art ("for myself") but his persistent attempts to destroy frames of reference altered our thinking, established new units of thought, a "new thought for that object."” ThinkingArtWantedFormFoundLanguageVisionCenturyFieldsObjectsChangedMaterialsMovedComplexesDetailsBoundariesVisualsUnitsPersistentPioneersAlteredNew ThoughtFrame Of ReferenceImpressionism Author:Jasper Johns
“Two things I'm obsessed with are the countryside and fields and being in the open space and body parts, so you'll hear me mentioning body parts and human anatomy.

“No other creative field is as closed to those who are not white and male as is the visual arts.

“If I were twenty or thirty years younger, I would start afresh in this field with the certainty of accomplishing much. But I should have to learn from the bottom up, forgetting the theatre entirely and concentrating on the special medium of this new art. My mistake, and that of many others, lay in employing "theatrical" techniques despite every effort to avoid them. Here is something quite, quite fresh, a penetrating form of visual poetry, an untried exponent of the human soul.
