Zitat des Tages von Corita Kent:
In the eighteenth century, it was ladies and gentlemen and swings in a garden; today, it may be Campbell's soup cans or highway signs. There is no real difference. The artist still takes his everyday world and tries to make something out of it.
Someone remarked that the newspapers or the news magazines are the same as the psalms except that the names changed in the stories. Maybe you can't understand the psalms without understanding the newspaper and the other way around.
That's why people listen to music or look at paintings. To get in touch with that wholeness.
Groceries became a revelation: the people coming out with bundles of food. It's all like a great ceremony, and the whole drudgery of shopping has become my inspiration.
Take an exhibit, in the days when we saw the Pop art - Andy Warhol and all that - tomato soup cans, etc., and coming home, you saw everything like A. Warhol.
Flowers grow out of dark moments.
Love the moment and the energy of that moment will spread beyond all boundaries.
Damn everything but the circus.
Women's liberation is the liberation of the feminine in the man and the masculine in the woman.
Life is a succession of moments, to live each one is to succeed.
A painting is a symbol for the universe. Inside it, each piece relates to the other. Each piece is only answerable to the rest of that little world. So, probably in the total universe, there is that kind of total harmony, but we get only little tastes of it.
When art has changed, it's because the world was changing.
