Zitat des Tages von Agnes Martin:
I'm very careful not to have ideas, because they're inaccurate.
The Minimalists are idealist. They want to minimize themselves in favor of the ideal... But I just can't. You see, my paintings are not cool.
To progress in life you must give up the things you do not like. Give up doing the things that you do not like to do. You must find the things that you do like. The things that are acceptable to your mind.
One thing I like about Zen. It doesn't believe in achievement.
When I think of art I think of beauty. Beauty is the mystery of life. It is not in the eye it is in the mind. In our minds there is awareness of perfection.
Happiness is being on the beam with life - to feel the pull of life.
My paintings are not about what is seen. They are about what is known forever in the mind.
Any material may be used but the theme is the same and the response is the same for all artwork... we all have the same concern, but the artist must know exactly what the experience is. He must pursue the truth relentlessly.
Artwork is a representation of our devotion to life.
The main thing in making art often is letting go of your expectation and your idea.
My paintings are certainly nonobjective. They're just horizontal lines.
You can't make a perfect painting. We can see perfection in our minds. But we can't make a perfect painting.
