Banal Ideas Cannot Be Rescued

I Didn't Want To Save Art - I Respected The Older Artists Too Much To Think Art Needed Saving. But I Knew It Was Finished, Even Though, At That Time, I Didn't Know What I Would Do.

When Artists Make Art, They Shouldn't Question Whether It Is Permissible To Do One Thing Or Another.

Also, Since Art Is A Vehicle For The Transmission Of Ideas Through Form, The Reproduction Of The Form Only Reinforces The Concept. It Is The Idea That Is Being Reproduced. Anyone Who Understands The Work Of Art Owns It. We All Own The Mona Lisa.

[the Artist's Aim Is] Not To Instruct The Viewer, But To Give Him Information... . The Artist Would Follow His Predetermined Premise To Its Conclusion, Avoiding Subjectivity. Chance, Taste, Or Unconsciously Remembered Forms Would Play No Part In The Outcome. The Serial Artist Does Not Attempt To Produce A Beautiful Or Mysterious Object But Functions Merely As A Clerk Cataloguing The Results Of His Premise.

An Architect Doesn't Go Off With A Shovel And Dig His Foundation And Lay Every Brick. He's Still An Artist.
