“Back in the early days like for the Temptations, Supremes and Four Tops, artist development was alive in record companies. Every artist had a moment to develop the record visually.

So there's a need to bridge that gap and that's my job.” NeedsMomentsJobsArtistCompanyRecordsFourAliveFiguresDevelopmentCamerasPhonesSupremeTemptationBridgesGapsRecord Companies Author:Laurieann Gibson
“great artists can be uncertain. Of course they are while strugggling to find solutions. Tolstoi's scripts are almost indecipherable. Emily Dickinson provided four or more alternates for every word; Beethoven wrestled with endings to the point of exhaustion; in our day Jerome Robbins and his lack of decision are a byword in the dance profession. But all of these knew very well what they did not want, and what they did not want was the current coin, the well-worn usage. What they wanted was something newly experienced, and therefore unknown and hard to attain.” WantWellsHardWantedArtistCoursesDecisionFourSolutionsScriptsCurrentsProfessionSomething NewWornUncertainCoinsGreat ArtGreat ArtistExhaustionEmilyUsage Author:Agnes de Mille
