I like art as thought better than art as work. I’ve always maintained this. It’s important to me that I don’t get my hands dirty. It’s not because I’m instinctively lazy. It’s a declaration: art is thought. – Dan Flavin
Pain
is inescapable,
and must be met
with suffering.
Suffering
is raw
and must be transcended
with art.
Art
will be repudiated,
giving one
again
the opportunity
of pain.
– Words by Theodore Friend
