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.
