In its most limited sense, modern, art would seem to concern itself only with the technical innovations of the period.

Art cannot be modern. Art is primordially eternal.

I have never been against new art as such; some of it is good, much is crap, most is somewhere in between.

Modern art has to be what is called ‘intense.’ it is not easy to define being intense; but, roughly speaking, it means saying only one thing at a time, and saying it wrong.

You can understand nothing about art, particularly modern art, if you do not understand that imagination is a value in itself.

Modern paintings are like women, you'll never enjoy them if you try to understand them.
