The new job of art is to sit on the wall and get more expensive.
— Robert Hughes
Popular in our time, unpopular in his. So runs the stereotype of rejected genius.
It was the basilica of gossip, the Vatican of inside dope.
A determined soul will do more with a rusty monkey wrench than a loafer will accomplish with all the tools in a machine shop.
Nothing they design ever gets in the way of a work of art.
Transportation made sublimation literal. It conveyed evil to another world.
Landscape is to American painting what sex and psychoanalysis are to the American novel.
It was a secular cathedral, dedicated to the rites of travel.
The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize.
