I love art; I collect mostly modern art.

I love the idea of modern art in a home that isn't totally modern. There's a certain energy that comes out of that juxtaposition.

Art cannot be modern. Art is primordially eternal.

I have never been against new art as such; some of it is good, much is crap, most is somewhere in between.

Modern art has to be what is called ‘intense.’ it is not easy to define being intense; but, roughly speaking, it means saying only one thing at a time, and saying it wrong.

Modern paintings are like women, you'll never enjoy them if you try to understand them.
