Aesthetics is my only concern. And the influence of philosophy. . .
“Art for the sake of art”
Realism is prose; prose is fallen poetry. Abstraction is poetry; poetry is fallen music.
Art is a remedy for reality.
Art is serious: Careful in thought, full of concern, or restrained and dignified in manner.
Difficult things appear easy. Great art seems artless.
Art is a term of respect for beauty. Is the artist respecting beauty?
We need beauty because beauty is sanity.
