Art is such an important part of our culture.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We want people to experience art and think about it. The art reflects our time, it is about our culture.
The modern world thinks of art as very important: something close to the meaning of life.
Art is great. At its best, it engages the intellect and challenges the spirit; it connects us across history and reminds us of our humanity.
Art has to be reflective of our society.
I think there are a lot more important things than art in the world. But not to me.
What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life.
I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
People are craving this great progress in electronics, going after computers, the Internet, etc. It's a giant progress technologically. But they must have a balance of soul, a balance for human beauty. That means art has an important role.
Art is important because when people start to forget, art reminds them what happened. Like 'Guernica.' People would not remember the tragedy of Guernica today if it were not for that painting.
Art is the close scrutiny of reality and therefore I put on the stage only those things that I know happen in our society.
