Quote

Art consists of reshaping life, but it does not create life nor cause life.

Art is the proper task of life.

We are concerned with the relationship between art and life. Contemporary art is only intelligible in terms of its relationship to our life.

Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life without it.

Art is longer than life.

Sometimes art imitates life.

Art should be life. It's an imitation of life. It should have some humanity in it.

Art is about profundity. It's about connecting to everything that it means to be alive, but you have to act.

Wherever art appears, life disappears.

Art does imitate life, it has to come from somewhere. To put boundaries and limitations on it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
