I think there are a lot more important things than art in the world. But not to me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The modern world thinks of art as very important: something close to the meaning of life.
What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life.
Unfortunately, I haven't thought sufficiently about art. What I never realized - and it's really stupid - is the art world is the art world because all these thousands of famous and not-famous artists do things, over centuries. This hadn't occurred to me.
Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life without it.
A work of art has no importance whatever to society. It is only important to the individual.
All art really does is keep you focused on questions of humanity, and it really is about how do we get on with our maker.
Art is the close scrutiny of reality and therefore I put on the stage only those things that I know happen in our society.
Art is Art. Everything else is everything else.
Defining art is huge; I feel like it's such a subjective thing. It's more like what's not art. You know what I mean? I think there can be an art in the way people live their lives, and art can be a gift someone gives to somebody.
Thought is more important than art. To revere art and have no understanding of the process that forces it into existence, is finally not even to understand what art is.
