“as our age has endless destructive force,
it now needs a revolution of a comparable creative force
that reinforces memory,
clarifies dreams
and gives substance to images”

“light is the first visible animal of the invisible”

“try to see.
try to imagine.
in the first case, you say, “Look at that”
in the second, you say, “Close your eyes”.”

‘But art is in any case not a relation to a thing, it is a relation between men, between artist and audience, and the art work is only like a machine which they must both grasp as part of the process. The commercialisation of art may revolt the sincere artist, but the tragedy is that he revolts against it still within the limitations of bourgeois culture. He attempts to forget the market completely and concentrate on his relation to the art work, which now becomes further hypostatized as an entity-in-itself. Because the art work is now completely an end-in-itself, and even the market is forgotten, the art process becomes an extremely individualistic relation. The social values inherent in the art form, such as syntax, tradition, rules, technique, form, accepted tonal scale, now seem to have little value, for the art work more and more exists for the individual alone.’

“Siempre hay muchas, muchas razones para no hacer arte y éstas son innumerables, como la falta de dinero, la falta de tiempo, el corrupto mundo del arte, la desaprobación paterna, las restricciones institucionales, etc., etc. Recuerdo a mis estudiantes que hacer arte es verdaderamente una actividad subversiva en cualquier sociedad. Creo que el arte al final desafiará y sustituirá a la ciencia y a la religión como la disciplina que es capaz de plantear el sentido esencial de nuestra existencia.”
