The worlds of art, philanthropy, and business are absolutely intertwined.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
An artist's sphere of influence is the world.
What the art world has done, it has been constantly been pushing the boundaries about what art can be. It's like expanding its territory.
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 about the messy and marvelous business of coming to your senses - and also, to the senses of the world.
Art is a harmony parallel with nature.
Art is the triumph over chaos.
I think there are a lot more important things than art in the world. But not to me.
I'm enamored with the art world.
There's always been an ongoing struggle between commerce and art.
It makes me happy to think that this world of art-as-investment is a minuscule fraction of the art world overall. Most people who create, trade and own art do it for a much simpler reason. They just like it.
