I am for an art that takes into account the direct effect of the elements as they exist from day to day apart from representation.

Art history is less explosive than the rest of history, so it sinks faster into the pulverized regions of time.

Parks are idealizations of nature, but nature in fact is not a condition of the ideal.

A work of art when placed in a gallery loses its charge, and becomes a portable object or surface disengaged from the outside world.

History is representational, while time is abstract; both of these artifices may be found in museums, where they span everybody's own vacancy

Words for mental processes are all derived from physical things.

Objects in a park suggest static repose rather than any ongoing dialectic. Parks are finished landscapes for finished art .
