The forties, seventies, and the nineties, when money was scarce, were great periods, when the art world retracted but it was also reborn.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The most wonderful time to be in the art world was in the sixties, because it wasn't a business - there was no business of doing art.
The art market was very different before the mid-1980s: then, art was all about passion, whereas now it's become a commodity.
I don't think we live in those times when great art comes out of great adversity.
When art has changed, it's because the world was changing.
The history of art is the history of revivals.
I think the 1970s will always be the decade for me. Obviously, I grew up in that era, but the beauty standard was touchable, kissable.
History develops, art stands still.
I am stuck in the 70's. I can't seem to get away from that era.
Historically, art has always had a market. When one medieval fiefdom defeated another they would drag back its jewels, gold, tapestries and art objects as the spoils of war. Art equaled power, riches and culture.
There was once a time when art history and film were basically the same medium, but art history is frozen in late-19th-century technology that has survived into the early 21st century.
