I believe that my art gets across the point that I'm in this morality theater trying to help the underdog, and I'm speaking socially here, showing concern and making psychological and philosophical statements for the underdog.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Fundamentally, all art is about human beings. You're always showing larger moral questions through the smaller moral, philosophical, or political choices through one character in the book.
All art to me is an empathetic act. Whoever's telling a story is trying to transfer emotion into someone else.
Art is a way to express yourself and through that you can escape a bad situation.
Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.
My position is that serious and good art has always existed to help, to serve, humanity. Not to indict. I don't see how art can be called art if its purpose is to frustrate humanity.
Art never harms itself by keeping aloof from the social problems of the day: rather, by so doing, it more completely realises for us that which we desire.
I love the gallery, the arena of representation. It's a commercial world, and morality is based generally around economics, and that's taking place in the art gallery.
I view art as an inspirational tool.
Art is the close scrutiny of reality and therefore I put on the stage only those things that I know happen in our society.
I think most of the art now is involved with a denial of any kind of absolute morality, or general morality.
