What is extraordinary about contemporary art is the energy - it has our energy. New energy. Pieces hundreds of years old are beautiful from an aesthetic point of view, but without our modern energy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love the idea of modern art in a home that isn't totally modern. There's a certain energy that comes out of that juxtaposition.
Contemporary art will help me to modernise our society.
We are concerned with the relationship between art and life. Contemporary art is only intelligible in terms of its relationship to our life.
The contemporary thing in art and literature is the thing which doesn't make enough difference to the people of that generation so that they can accept it or reject it.
The modern artist... is working and expressing an inner world - in other words - expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces.
The whole thrust of modern art, as far as I understand it, is expanding the role of the artist as a kind of esthetician, someone who actually spends his time, is trained in a way to deal with qualities.

Art cannot be modern. Art is primordially eternal.
All art is contemporary art because it had to be made when it was now.
