In General, Modern Art... Has Been Inspired

If We Persist In Our Restless Desire To Know Everything About The Universe And Ourselves, Then We Must Not Be Afraid Of What The Artist Brings Back From His Voyage Of Discovery.

In A Sense, Every Tool Is A Machine--the Hammer, The Ax, And The Chisel. And Every Machine Is A Tool. The Real Distinction Is Between One Man Using A Tool With His Hands And Producing An Object That Shows At Every Stage The Direction Of His Will And The Impression Of His Personality; And A Machine Which Is Producing, Without The Intervention Of A Particular Man, Objects Of A Uniformity And Precision That Show No Individual Variation And Have No Personal Charm. The Problem Is To Decide Whether The Objects Of Machine Production Can Possess The Essential Qualities Of Art.

Art Is Pattern Informed By Sensibility.

We May Be Sure That Out Of The Ruins Of Our Capitalist Civilization A New Religion Will Emerge, Just As Christianity Emerged From The Ruins Of The Roman Civilization.
