Quote of the Day

A piece of art doesn't have to be a piece of art for everybody.  It does not have to cause feelings in everyone.

Art doesn't have to be eternal.  There could be something that works as art for a few people for a few weeks, for a lot of people for a hundred years, for one person for a lifetime, for a small number of people for a thousand years.  There are all sorts of levels.

It is always a conversation, even if there is only one person involved in the conversation.  You might make art as a conversation with yourself.

-- Brian Eno and Bette A., What Art Does: An Unfinished Theory

Quote of the Day

Sometimes you can take the whole of the world in, and sometimes you need a small piece to take in.  I think that is really what a work of art is: it is a small piece that you can ingest, that gives you an idea of the richness of the whole.

-- Sister Mary Corita Kent
