Unfortunately, the more chaotic the society, the greater is the desire for conservative, nonconfrontational art.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm innately conservative, and painting is an ideal place to exercise a progressive conservatism. I operate well within limits.
Conservatives unwittingly side with the social forces that contribute to the destruction of traditional values.
Evidently the arts, all the visual arts, are becoming more democratic in the worst sense of the word.
It's easier to make art for a society at a certain point in time with an understanding of what's going on.
The arts tend to be more liberal. There tends to be more social relevance in the arts.
Art is the triumph over chaos.
The house has to serve comfort. The work of art is revolutionary; the house is conservative.
I think all art is, by nature, intended to motivate society for change, and the only reason change doesn't happen is because within the target population, courage is lacking.
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Art, freedom and creativity will change society faster than politics.
