Making Beautiful Things For Everyday Use Is

It Is As Much The Conversations Between Objects As Between Us And Objects That Make Museums So Valuable.

Well, I Think Critics Are Very Useful. But I Think That They, In A Way, Betray Their Position When They Stop People Looking For Themselves. Judgment Is Very Easy, But I Think, On The Whole, Professional Critics Maybe See Too Much, And Compare Too Much, And Forget The Joy Of Actually Looking And Contemplating For Its Own Sake.

Making Beautiful Things For Everyday Use Is A Wonderful Thing To Do.. Making Life Flow More Easily.. But Art Confronts Life, Allowing It To Stop And Perhaps Change Direction.. They Are Completely Different.

Art Is Not About Objects Of High Monetary Exchange. It's About Reasserting Our Firsthand Experience In Present Time.

Maybe This Is A Utopian View Of Art But I Do Believe That Art Can Function As A Vehicle, That It Isn't Just A Cultural Pursuit, Something That Happens In Art Galleries. Unless Art Is Linked To Experience And The Fear And Joy Of That, It Becomes Mere Icing On The Cake.
