When a finished work of 20th century sculpture is placed in an 18th century garden, it is absorbed by the ideal representation of the past, thus reinforcing political and social values that are no longer with us.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Painting and sculpture are very archaic forms. It's the only thing left in our industrial society where an individual alone can make something with not just his own hands, but brains, imagination, heart maybe.
Masterpieces of art possess immense potential to advance a worldview that could help assuage the societal terrors posed by globalization, the most thoroughgoing socioeconomic upheaval since the Industrial Revolution, which has set off a pandemic of retrogressive nationalism, regional separatism, and religious extremism.
The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present.
Art has to be reflective of our society.
I think 21st century should be art without objects.
We want people to experience art and think about it. The art reflects our time, it is about our culture.
Art cannot be modern. Art is primordially eternal.
In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it.
In the 19th century, you had bourgeois art without politics - an almost frozen idea of what beauty is.
Contemporary art will help me to modernise our society.
