Marilyn Minter Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Marilyn Minter:

I don't follow anybody. I just flip through whatever Instagram sends me. I like to keep my algorithm pure, so I only ever like pictures of art. It's a rabbit hole for me because I'm a total voyeur.

I've always tried to be very seductive. I want the paintings to draw you in. But I don't want to just glamour you. I want to make an image of the time we live in and reflect it back.

I love the idea of making images of the parts of the body that we all have but that no one pays attention to, like the soft area underneath your nose.

Marilyn Minter

I think I might be hitting the zeitgeist. All around you, you're looking at beautiful people that have been turned into robots. Maybe the eye is craving a little upper lip fur.

I'm from the South; there's been such progress since I was young, with racism, with feminism. The environment is next.

Marilyn Minter

You know when women look their best? When they're in love.

Marilyn Minter

Feminism is the best movement that's happened in the 21st century, and it benefits everyone.

Marilyn Minter

I'm a voracious reader. I want information, all kinds - Internet, books, magazines.

Marilyn Minter

I work in a studio with lots of young people, most of whom are my former students. We delight in trading YouTube videos! We all stop working to watch them. I'm totally addicted to anything with kittens and puppies, but 'Very Scared Kid' is one of my favorites.

The thrill of a photo-realist painter is if you get really close to the painting, it looks just like a photograph. Whereas in my case, if you get close to my paintings, they totally fall apart - so I'm about as far from a photo-realist as it gets.

I don't follow anybody. I just flip through whatever Instagram sends me. I like to keep my algorithm pure, so I only ever like pictures of art. It's a rabbit hole for me because I'm a total voyeur.

Any artist who sticks around in the public awareness for more than 20 years usually has something unique to say.

I've been supporting Planned Parenthood all my life. I've even used it myself, back when I had no money. It's where I got my birth control. During college, every one of us got support from them.

Marilyn Minter

In the late '80s, I think my vision was chasing people out of the room. Nobody else thought like this. I was really this pro-sex feminist.

Marilyn Minter

I was there when they shut down the Pentagon; I've been going on protest marches my whole life... And now, this fight against controlling and policing women's bodies feels like a war.

Marilyn Minter

I still don't feel like I've made it. I can't imagine ever feeling like I've made it.

Marilyn Minter

My work is about the world I live in. So, I sort of make a picture of my life or our lives. I'm always looking for something that is overlooked, so I need to constantly be aware of what's going on.

Marilyn Minter

Art about art and backstory has taken over visual pleasure.

Marilyn Minter

I meditate. Just counting my breath. Before I do anything, really.

Marilyn Minter

When I see an artist whose work I like at a party - I'm old now, so I can do this - I go right over and tell them how much I like their work. Instantly, I'm on their side. The act of saying it takes away the competition. The act of saying it makes me not hate them anymore, because they're good.

Marilyn Minter

Planned Parenthood is being mentioned by the Republican Party more than ISIS. I think Trump is insane. I don't think you could have a normal conversation or even convince him. I think the ego is just about Trump. It's not about the issues at all.

Marilyn Minter

I always knew I had something to say even when nobody else wanted to listen.

Marilyn Minter

The fashion world tells me how much they love my work, but they don't hire me very often. Tom Ford did, and he hated it. Naturally, he wanted to Photoshop away the imperfections, which is perfectly understandable. They want their vision.

Marilyn Minter

Only be an artist if you have no choice!
