Never refuse an assignment except when there is a conflict of interest a potential of danger to you or your family or you hold a strongly biased attitude about the subject under focus.

The purely agitational attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject.

Pessimism only describes an attitude and not facts and hence is entirely subjective.

When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude.

We submit to the majority because we have to. But we are not compelled to call our attitude of subjection a posture of respect.

In every work of art the subject is primordial whether the artist knows it or not. The measure of the formal qualities is only a sign of the measure of the artist's obsession with his subject the form is always in proportion to the obsession.

There are neither good nor bad subjects. From the point of view of pure Art you could almost establish it as an axiom that the subject is irrelevant style itself being an absolute manner of seeing things.

The reason the art world doesn't respond to Kinkade is because none - not one - of his ideas about subject-matter surface color composition touch scale form or skill is remotely original. They're all cliche and already told.

Art usually only makes the news in America when the subject is money.

Money is something that can be measured art is not. It's all subjective.
