All of the significant art of today stems from Conceptual art. This includes the art of installation, political, feminist and socially directed art.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Conceptual art became the liberating idea that gave the art of the next 40 years its real impetus.
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.
The other great development has been in photography, but that too was influenced by Conceptual art.
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.
Art is the objectification of feeling.
We are concerned with the relationship between art and life. Contemporary art is only intelligible in terms of its relationship to our life.
Art is all in the details.
Art is an expression of who we are, what we believe, and what we dream about.
Art is something special because it can come up with a way of approaching the truth that is a little to the side.
Art is the objectification of feeling, and the subjectification of nature.
