Doing life consciously was a compelling notion to me.

This everyday world affects the way art is created as much as it conditions its response.

Doing life consciously was a compelling notion to me.

The young artist of today need no longer say 'I am a painter,' or 'a poet,' or 'a dancer.' He is simply an 'artist.' All of life will be open to him.

A walk down 14th street is more amazing than any masterpiece of art.

The young artist... will discover out of ordinary things the meaning of ordinariness. He will not try to make them extraordinary. Only their real meaning will be stated.

Some of us will probably become famous. It will be an ironic fame fashioned largely by those who have never seen our work.
