It is not hard to understand modern art. If it hangs on a wall it's a painting, and if you can walk around it it's a sculpture.

You can understand nothing about art, particularly modern art, if you do not understand that imagination is a value in itself.

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.

The worst-case scenario is they get into a field they really aren't happy with. We want to make sure their majors are going to lead to a career they'd like to have. That's what education is all about.
