Says - What makes art is not the aesthetics it is the metaphysics. Art is not about revolution it is about revelation. Art is not a decoration it is an illumination. Art is not investment it is enchantment. Art is not purely for enjoyment it is for enlightenment. Aret is not about personal hangups it is about universal truths. Art is not a product it is an awakening. The talkers try to steal art from the doers. If you can explain a work of art it is best to keep the explanation - you can throw away the work. The appreciation of art like the appreciation of wine or football has to be learned by experience and much application.
