Painting Cannot Be The Only

There Is A Black Which Is Old And A Black Which Is Fresh. Lustrous Black And Dull Black, Black In Sunlight And Black In Shadow.

Art Is Art. Everything Else Is Everything Else.

I Taught A Lot Of Art History, Especially Chinese, Japanese, And Indian. But The Painting Classes Came Back. The Nudes Came Back. Not So Much The Still Lifes. So Now Our Department Is The Worst Department, Partly Because It Has The Worst Facilities.

The Only And One Way To Say What Abstract Art Or Art-as-art Is, Is To Say What It Is Not.

The Ugliest Spectacle Is That Of Artists Selling Themselves. Art As A Commodity Is An Ugly Idea... The Artist As Businessman Is Uglier Than The Businessman As Artist.
