If they were starting their careers today, Rockwell and Picasso would probably both be painting on black velvet. |
If we come up with the board, it's game over. |
In America, the only truly popular art form is the movies. Most people consider painting a hobby and literature, schoolwork. |
In Modernism, reality used to validate media. In Postmodernism, the media validate reality. If you don't believe this, just think how many times you've described some real event as being 'just like a movie.' |
In the next century, when art will be packaged as virtual reality software, realistic paintings will sell the way Shaker furniture does now. Shaker furniture will sell the way Van Gogh paintings do. And teddy bears owned by Elvis will come to auction only occasionally. |
In the nineteenth century the camera made a realist of the man on the street. Now the computer can make anybody a desktop Cubist. Technology may or may not be destiny, but I doubt that machines will replace art any more than wheels have replaced feet. |
It is every artist's fantasy to run things. I know personally, I'd be happiest as dictator of a small island. The problem is that romantic artists are usually too disorganized to run their own lives, let alone societies. And most societies are too sensible to let them try it. |
It is nice to get back on the field after having our weekend series postponed. ULL will be a very well coached ball team, so it will be good to see how we match up against them. |
It means nothing. It's just something the conference does and we very rarely end up where the conference predicts we will. |
It really runs the gamut, from parking to issues with graduate students. My entire role is to help people with issues that they have, whatever they might be. |
It's my guess that those cutting-edge artists who attack tradition secretly believe tradition will survive to enshrine them as the wild and crazy geniuses who destroyed it |
Many of the contradictions in Postmodern art come from the fact that we're trying to be artists in a democratic society. This is because in a democracy, the ideal is compromise. In art, it isn't. |
Many people have observed that truth is stranger than fiction. This has led some intellectuals to conclude that it's stranger than non-fiction as well. |
Missouri is a very well coached team and deserving of their ranking. They have an experienced team, returning many of their top lettermen from last season. In 2005, they were one catch away from a Super Regional, so this weekend will be a great test for our guys. |
New Art follows Old Art. Comes before New Improved Art. |
