“It is, of course, a luxury to create art and, on top of this, to insist on expressing one's own artistic opinion. Nothing is more luxurious than this. It is a game and a good game, at least for me; one of the few games which make life, difficult and depressing as it is sometimes, a little more interesting.” LittlesArtSometimesCoursesGamesDifficultInterestingOpinionLuxuryArtisticDepressingLuxurious Book:Self-Portrait in Words: Collected Writings and Statements, 1903-1950 Source: Self-Portrait in Words: Collected Writings and Statements, 1903-1950
“A work of art is only of interest, in my opinion, when it is an immediate and direct projection of what is happening in the depth of a person's being.. ..It is my belief that only in this Art Brut can we find the natural and normal processes of artistic creation in their pure and elementary state.” PersonsArtStatesBeliefProcessInterestNaturalOpinionCreationPureNormalHappeningsArt IsDirectDepthArtisticWorks Of ArtProjectionArtistic Creation Author:Jean Dubuffet

“The lure in art collecting and its financial rewards, not counting for a moment its aesthetic, cultural and intellectual rewards, is like the trust in paper money: it makes no sense when you really think about it. New artistic images are so vulnerable to opinion that it wouldn't take much more than a whim for a small group of collectors to decide that a contemporary artist was not so wonderful anymore, was so last year.” ThinkingYearsArtMomentsLastsArtistOpinionWonderfulGroupsPaperIntellectualRewardsFinancialContemporaryVulnerableArtisticAestheticLast YearCountingCollectingCollectorsWhimLureSmall GroupsPaper Money Author:Steve Martin
