Artists of many diverse types began using simple forms to their own ends.
The thinking of John Cage derived from Duchamp and Dada. I was not interested in that.
The idea part is simple but the visual perception is complex.
Obviously a drawing of a person is not a real person, but a drawing of a line is a real line.
All intervening steps, scribbles, sketches, drawings, failed work models, studies thoughts, conversations, are of interest. Those that show the thought process of the artist are sometimes more interesting than the final product
I didn't want to save art - I respected the older artists too much to think art needed saving. But I knew it was finished, even though, at that time, I didn't know what I would do.
