There is an ineffable but fatal difference in attitude between people behaving naturally and people behaving naturally for a camera.

Minimalism itself had a very strong iconoclast impulse. You think of the sixties as loose and liberated, but in art it was actually quite the contrary.

Smithson was someone of tremendous significance whose work was not beautiful at all. I think he was an iconoclast.

Artists are expected to talk about their work but writers aren't expected to talk about their writing.

For Rembrandt, reality is role-playing.... Everyone is portrayed in relation to a social hierarchy.

Love and fear, the two strongest emotions we have. It all starts with emotion.

The artist is a strange being. I think it's safe to say that a real artist is conscious of having a personal singularity that is partly a blessing and partly a curse. An artist enjoys and suffers from isolation. As solitude, isolation can nurture. It can also destroy.
