What: "His creative process happens slightly out of order; encountering first the materials that inspire the idea; eventually developing the piece that will fill and interact with light and space. It is only the completed piece that eventually explains itself. Sometimes site specific, mostly free form and adaptable, like a virus they grow and shrink and adapt to the conditions of the moment."

What: "Because fine art is like the pure physics of visual culture, whereas illustration is like the applied physics and some of the modern art is like a particle accelerator, and the illustration is a bit like those ideas applied."

What: "With all its preliminary studies, 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon' is like a scientific research." .......Maybe this is a metaphor for the modern scientific process, much planning, much detail and the essential elements of any and every process broken down to manageable logical chunks.

What: One of the points of this article is that color can be manipulated to manipulate emotions. Color goes right to the heart. There is a reason traffic signals are red, yellow and green. Color goes to the heart in ways that STOP, CAUTION and GO do not. So these expressive artists used color to evoke and manipulated the emotions of the viewer. You see the same pattern in TV shows and commercials as of late. There is a lot of super saturated coloring to evoke in the viewer the desired emotional state .

What: " I enjoy this way of painting as process. .. so I guess it makes a life of its own and I just help it a bit. It is like having a conversation. I begin, then the sun speaks then I respond and the texture speaks then I respond and the paint speaks....and so on A dialogue with the unconscious or with hidden chemical processes becomes much more fun for me than is painting a specific thing."

What: "Modern art is like a good bowel movement. Of great satisfaction to the artist, but of no interest what so ever to anyone else." She was a corker and a very real inspiration. She volunteered for years at our local art museum, so indeed knew the subject well.

What: "Donner has turned against modernism, railing against the "easy victories" of the avant garde, and arguing that modern art is like religion, "only sustained by faith", a sham in which everyone is complicit. Again this all reflects back on the theme of blindness: whether, when looking at art, we all fill in the imaginative gaps, as Sophie does."

What: "If you think of architecture, the mona lisa is like the sears tower. Well crafted. Even artistic architects would respect it as a building. While you might like the Guggenheim more, the Sears Tower is still a masterpiece of architecture and engineering. That's why the Mona Lisa is so well respected."

What: "Tricksters depicted in ancient mythologies, legends, and literatures are beings that can physically live in two worlds simultaneously. They travel between heaven and earth, live the lives of young men and old men, and tolerate light and dark at the same time. They are great at surpassing boundaries. Contemporary art is like a trickster. It always leads the audiences to new directions to overturn traditional way of thinking. "

What: Generally , Art over the last 100 years or so has been characterized by a transition from representational to NON-representational form. What does this mean? The series of prints from Roy Lichtenstein's "Bull Series" has 6 pieces. The first being a Bull and then the next prints showing the Bull being abstracted into basic geometric elements of line and circle and also basic color elements of yellow, blue and red. This series not only demonstrates how this artist can imagine, but encapsulates what many artists believe art is as such.
