Quotes

  • Our human frame, our gutted mansion, our enveloping sack of beef and ash is yet a glory. The human figure is the image of all men and of one man. It contains all and it can express all.
  • .. the only true originality any art can have is originality of content. If I tried to find a new way of doing sculpture, I’d be like any other guy.
  • Pop art is the inedible raised to the unspeakable.
  • There's a tremendous tendency not to make a statement, not to be committed in that ultimate sense. Photo-realism is the same thing as minimal abstraction. Both are unwilling to say anything about the nature of reality, about their own involvement with reality, the evolvement of forms, their expressive...their deepest involvement with human reality.
