No one's conception of art is going to be acceptable to everybody.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I mean, art for art's sake is ridiculous. Art is for the sake of one's needs.
As long as artists arbitrarily assume the right to decide what is or is not art, it is logical that the public will just as arbitrarily feel that they have the right to reject it.
Art is so subjective, and people can react however they want.
Art is head space that is very exclusive: it shuts people out; other people cease to exist.
There is no prejudice that the work of art does not finally overcome.
In reality art is always for everyone and for no one.
Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.
I don't worry about whether anyone knows anything about art.
Art is not meant to change the world.
Art ought never to be considered except in its relations with its ideal beauty.
