A metaphysical tour de force of untethered meaning and involuting interlocking contrapuntal rhythms 'The Clock' is more than a movie or even a work of art. It is so strange and other-ish that it becomes a stream-of-consciousness algorithm unto itself - something almost inhuman.

The last time money left the art world intrepid types maxed out their credit cards and opened galleries and a few of them have become the best in the world.

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 most beautiful deception of all. And although people try to incorporate the everyday events of life in it we must hope that it will remain a deception lest it become a utilitarian thing sad as a factory.

The beginning of a friendship the fact that two people out of the thousands around them can meet and connect and become friends seems like a kind of magic to me. But maintaining a friendship requires work. I don't mean that as a bad thing. Good art requires work as well.

Even in literature and art no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will nine times out of ten become original without ever having noticed it.

The more horrifying this world becomes the more art becomes abstract.

The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.
