Art has absolutely no existence as veracity, as truth.

You know exactly what I think of photography. I would like to see it make people despise painting until something else will make photography unbearable. (In a letter to Alfred Stieglitz)

While all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.

Chess is a sport. A violent sport.

Art has the lovely habit of ruining all artistic theories.

What I have in mind is that art may be bad, good or indifferent, but, whatever adjective is used, we must call it art, and bad art is still art in the same way that a bad emotion is still an emotion.

It's the viewer that makes the work.
