I pledge allegiance to the living, and I will defend art from history. I will rescue art from the future, from its attrition into taste, and from the speculative notion that it will become more valuable with time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm committed to the purity of my art form.
I hope that through my work, artists will take some chances, break some rules, and make art that comes from inside of them. I would like to be remembered as a kind person, a great Mom, and a bit unruly - in a good way!
I will be a historical painter.
I set my sights upon becoming the kind of artist who would make a contribution to art history.
I do see myself as the heir to a vast, great, rich culture of painting - of art in general - which we have lost, but which places obligations on us.
Art is for entertainment purposes, but it's also to reflect our dreams, our hopes, the present, the future the past - whether it's good or bad.
I am an artist, and I have the ability and the free will to choose the way the world will envision me.
Instead of me keeping my art a personal thing, we can use it to save lives, change lives and inspire.
I will revolutionise art and the world. Hurrah!
I feel like I have at least begun to make a contribution, but my most significant concern has to do with whether my actual art will be preserved for future generations or be erased.
