MILTON GLASER -
Graphiker/Artist/Designer
...i'm totaly obsessed with the idea of
drawing as beeing the fondamental tool and instrument by wich you
understand what are you looking at and there is no replacement for
that. The idea of looking at something, letting it enter into your
brain, transforming it, moving at under a neurological path to
your hand, moving your hand to create something that can be evaluated
by your brain and correct it, that conversation between the mind and
the hand seems to me is the way we learn what is real and the issue in
the art very often is that question, 'what is real?'. People spend
their entire life try to learn how to drow and then after years and
years of effort they finally discover that they can succesfully
represent accurately what is in front of them... at the same time they
learn that this is not the point, that is only the beginning of the
real point wich is how to engage what is real.
...creation of a puzzle is one of the tools
you have to make people understand thinks, when they activate the mind
trying to figure something out, they luckily hold it and would remember
and respond to it more than if they were told something directly...

CHUCK CLOSE - Artist
...the world realist gives me problems because
in a way i'm not really trying to make something real, i can't make a
nose, i don't go in my studio and i say 'i want to make a nose today'.
All the willing about the happenn, is going to make any diferences, the
only way that i can accomplished what i want to is to understand
not the reality of what i'm dealing with, but the artificiality of what
it is...
...one of the think that i wanted was to make
every sqare inch of the painting as important every other square inch...

JEFF KOONS - Artist
...one of the first things an artist learn to
do, is to create a personal kind of ichonography, you develop a
personal vocabulary to work with...
...what art is able to do, is about acceptance, people talk about
esthetics and all this different things, but at the end of the day,
what art really is, is a veichle of acceptance, first you accept
yourself and eventually, the higer state, is the acceptance of others. |
