I don't very much enjoy looking at paintings in general. I know too much about them. I take them apart.
I always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work.
When you look at art made by other people, you see what you need to see in it.
When works of art are presented like rare butterflies on the walls, they're decontextualized. We admire their beauty, and I have nothing against that, per se. But there is more to art than that.
Art is the way people see things, and I think it's great when individuals can find in fashion something they truly believe is artistic.
