Obviously a drawing of a person is not a real person, but a drawing of a line is a real line.

What the work of art looks like isn't too important. It has to look like something if it has a physical form. No matter what form it may finally have it must begin with an idea. It is the process of conception and realization with which the artist is concerned.

A blind man can make art if what is in his mind can be passed to another mind in some tangible form.

New materials are one of the great afflictions of contemporary art. Some artists confuse new materials with new ideas.

A work of art may be understood as a conductor from the artist's mind to the viewer's. But it may never reach the viewer, or it may never leave the artist's mind.

The idea part is simple but the visual perception is complex.

The idea becomes a machine that makes the art.
