What we're looking for at my school is intellectuals. People who want to talk about the art and be knowledgeable about it. People who want to know the history. Not everybody needs to be performing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The educator and the public need to have an opportunity to discuss why certain art is important.
There's an audience for all kinds of great art.
Art needs to be socialised, and you need a lot of context to understand that, and that doesn't mean having read a few art history books.
As the unity of the modern world becomes increasingly a technological rather than a social affair, the techniques of the arts provide the most valuable means of insight into the real direction of our own collective purposes.
I have a pretty expanded view of what art is. I include pop music and even some sports.
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 is the close scrutiny of reality and therefore I put on the stage only those things that I know happen in our society.
I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few.
I was a student at Harvard, and that's where I learned about so-called avant-garde music. Jackson Pollock, abstract expressionism and painting were well known at this time.
I have always said to young artists that scholastic training and the studying of art history are crucial to fully developing as an artist.
