“What is seen and called the picture is what remains - an evidence. Even as one travels in painting toward a state of 'unfreedom' where only certain things can happen, unaccountably the unknown and free must appear.” StatesHappensCertainPaintingEvidenceRemains Book:Philip Guston: Collected Writings, Lectures, and Conversations Source: Philip Guston: Collected Writings, Lectures, and Conversations
“In our society, real power does not happen to lie in the political system, it lies in the private economy: that’s where the decisions are made about what’s produced, how much is produced, what’s consumed, where investment takes place, who has jobs, who controls the resources, and so on and so forth. And as long as that remains the case, changes inside the political system can make some difference-I don’t want to say it’s zero-but the differences are going to be very slight.” WantLongDoeMadeRealHappensJobsPoliticalLyingDifferencesDecisionCasesEconomyResourcesRemainsInvestmentOur SocietyZeroConsumedPolitical SystemsReal Power Author:Noam Chomsky
