You can disseminate your art, and it's all such easy access now. The upside to it is that more people are creating than ever before.
The greatest work of art about New York? The question seems nebulous. The city's magic and majesty are distilled in the photographs of Alfred Stieglitz and Paul Strand.
It is certainly a most tremendous and unprecedented honor and distinction that I have received from Pittsburgh. Let us hope that it is not too late in my case to be of value to American art in something that I may yet possibly do from this encouragement.
If the paying public demands naturalistic art, then an artist can use his skills to produce such pictures - but these are to be clearly distinguished from the artist's own art.
What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.
I had trouble distinguishing art from life. I don't now, and I feel much better!
You can't just take an image and randomly distort it and call it art - although many people in La Jolla where I come from do precisely that.
Distortion came first from the fauves, who, in turn, were under the strong influence of primitive art.
We must not confuse distortion with innovation; distortion is useless change, art is beneficial change.
For kind of sophisticated art I'm interested in, the larger structural rebuke has to be so subtle that it has to be distributed at an almost sub-atomic level. Otherwise, you fall into the kind of preachy, moralistic fable that I don't think makes for good literature.
The message of great art is to disturb.
Art is individualism, and individualism is a disturbing and disintegrating force.
Art is a form of asset. Hedge-fund managers who have made money fast should diversify into other areas.
We do want to be diverted and be interested and be provoked by popular culture - by art, if we're lucky. And it's amazing how often people have lost sight of this.
I just don't know the art of making friends with girls. And that's the reason why I've never had a single girl as a friend. Also, I'm so engrossed in cricket that I've never found an opportunity to interact with girls very closely. In a way, it's better, as my mind doesn't get diverted!
Art is like a stock with a decent return for people in finance, and they get to feel like they are involved with culture, spend time with artists, as part of their dividend.
When we teach in pluralistic ways, there are two wonderful dividends. First of all, we reach more students, because some learn best through stories, some through works of art, some through role play etc. Second of all, we show what it is like really to understand something.
Divine Nature gave the fields, human art built the cities.
Coming out of the Louvre for the first time in 1971, dizzy with new love, I stood on Pont Neuf and made a pledge to myself that the art of this newly discovered world in the Old World would be my life companion.
We do not judge great art. It judges us.
