art thinking europe
Pop Art is industrial painting. I think the meaning of my work is that it is industrial, it's what all the world will soon become. Europe will be the same way, soon, it won't be American; it will be universal.
art way ifs
All my art is in some way about other art, even if the other art is cartoons.
drawing want making-changes
But usually I begin things through a drawing, so a lot of things are worked out in the drawing. But even then, I still allow for and want to make changes.
differences trying cliche
I take a cliche and try to organize its forms to make it monumental. The difference is often not great, but it is crucial.
art animal culture
There must be something about art... almost all cultures have done art. It's a refining of the senses, which are there to keep us alive. As far as we know, no other animals do that.
art mistake character
My work sanitizes it (emotion) but it is also symbolic of commercial art sanitizing human feelings. I think it can be read that way.... People mistake the character of line for the character of art. But it's really the position of line that's important, or the position of anything, any contrast, not the character of it.
art perception art-is
Organized perception is what art is all about.
drawing kind depiction
I'm never drawing the object itself; I'm only drawing a depiction of the object - a kind of crystallized symbol of it.
art our-world trying
Im not really sure what social message my art carries, if any. And I dont really want it to carry one. Im not interested in the subject matter to try to teach society anything, or to try to better our world in any way.
art world looks
Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesnt look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.
thinking people vision
My work isn't about form. It's about seeing. I'm excited about seeing things, and I'm interested in the way I think other people see things.
art architecture
I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.
problem
India's problem isn't too much democracy, it's too much socialism.
alienation certain experience people walk work
In cities, people go to work and all walk there together, like some arterial flow. And there's a certain desolation about it, an alienation that we all experience.
