Art Belief Statements

Art is not merely a form of self-expression -- it is a way for humanity to understand itself. - jdk

Art often gets praised or dismissed based on how easily it can be talked about afterward. Work that resists clean language tends to make people uncomfortable, especially in professional settings. That discomfort is frequently mistaken for failure. - I Think

Most contemporary art is not misunderstood -- it is intentionally empty. If a work requires a paragraph of explanation before it can be felt, it has already failed as art. Difficulty is not depth. - Wise Old Man

Art is how humanity talks to itself across time. - Thinker
