“Fine-art photography is a very small world associated with galleries, museums, and university art programs. It's not like rock music; the products of this world have never been widely seen because the artists are often exploring things that are not already coded in general consciousness. It's not that photographers don't want to be famous, it's just that very few of the views from the edges of culture make the mainstream. Ansel Adams was an exception.” WorldWantArtArtistCultureViewsConsciousnessRocksThis WorldProductsFinePhotographyProgramPhotographerUniversityEdgesExceptionMuseumsMainstreamExploringGalleryFine ArtsRock MusicSmall WorldArt Photography Author:Mark Klett
“Photography, as an invention, was both art and science. The view it gave us of the world was in some measure acceptable because it was a product of our vision of the world; and it did so as part of the same process which seemed to impart 'truth': science.” WorldArtProcessViewsVisionProductsPhotographyInventionAcceptableImpartArt And Science Author:Joseph Kosuth
“Why do we make records? Because we want to say something. Why are you in art? Because you want to say something. The second you don't have anything to say, you stop making art - you might start making product. And I'm interested in being an artist.” WantArtMightArtistRecordsProductsArt IsBeing An Artist Author:Patrick Stump
“Blue jeans have gone around the world. But that's a product. We market blue jeans better, just as we market film better.

“To all viewers but yourself, what matters is the product: the finished artwork. To you, and you alone, what matters is the process: the experiences of shaping that artwork. The viewers' concerns are not your concerns (although it'd dangerously easy to adopt their attitudes.) Their job is wahtever it is: to be moved by art, to be entertained by it, to make a killing off it, whatever. Your job is to learn to work on your work.” ArtMatterJobsEasyProcessAttitudeProductsConcernMovedKillingFinishedWhat MattersViewersArtwork Author:David Bayles
“You're confusing product with process. Most people, when they criticize, whether they like it or hate it, they're talking about product. That's not art, that's the result of art. Art, to whatever degree we can get a handle on (I'm not sure that we really can) is a process. It begins in the heart and the mind with the eyes and hands.” PeopleMindHeartArtHandsEyeHateProcessResultsTalkingProductsDegreesHandleNot SureCriticizeConfusing Author:Jeff Melvoin

“Ivy [Wilkes] does exhibit a certain impatience at the beginning of the book [The Dissemblers]. She doesn't want to wait through years of hard work and insignificance to make her mark on the art world.

“I am interested in Icons, not just religious works but also contemporary icons.
