“Making this movie as a period piece about a period that was very recent in people's minds. I was in Taiwan [during the 1970s], so I hope I did all right. Otherwise, it could be the biggest embarrassment of my life. Also, the story is not linear, it's patchy, like a cubist painting, and there is always the possibility it will not hold together, it will fall apart. The tone is part satire, part serious drama, part tragedy, all mixed together, and it has to hit an emotional core. That's also very scary.” PeopleMindStoriesTogetherFallPiecesPossibilityEmotionalPaintingSeriousPeriodsDramaTragedyScaryCoreToneSatireFalling ApartEmbarrassmentLinearTaiwan Author:Ang Lee
“If you're going to be a visual artist, then there has to be something in the work that accounts for the possibility of the invisible, the opposite of the visual experience. That's why it's not like a table or a car or something. I think that that might even be hard for people because most of our visual experiences are of tables. It has no business being anything else but a table. But a painting or a sculpture really exists somewhere between itself, what it is, and what it is not-you know, the very thing. And how the artist engineers or manages that is the question.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsHardMightArtistCarPossibilityPaintingOppositesAccountsTablesInvisibleManageVisualsEngineersSculptureVisual ArtVisual Artist Author:Richard Tuttle
“There's a spectrum of possibilities. You can underline the bass, or not at all. You can create something that is well-anchored or that is floating and never arriving.

“When I look at a wildlife or nature subject, I dont see the feathers in the wings, I just count the wings. I see exciting shapes, color combinations, patterns, textures, fascinating behavior and endless possibilities for making interesting pictures. I regard the picture as an ecosystem in which all the elements are interrelated, interdependent, perfectly balanced, without trimming or unutilized parts; and herein lies the lure of the painting; in a world of chaos, the picture is one small rectangle in which the artist can create an ordered universe.” WorldLooksLyingArtistUniverseInterestingSubjectsPossibilityColorPaintingShapesBehaviorElementsExcitingRegardWingsChaosPatternsEndlessCombinationFascinatingBalancedFeathersTextureWildlifeEcosystemsLureTrimmingEndless PossibilitiesRectangles Author:Charley Harper
“A lot of artists were members of the artistic union. It gave you the possibility to buy paints, canvases, brushes, even the possibility to get a studio if you had the money to build it.

“There's quite obviously the desire to open the rule sets that allow for inclusion or disclusion.
