"All art comes from other art, and all immigrants come from other places." ― Jerry Saltz Topic(s): Art More From Jerry Saltz "Those who love him love that he sells the most art; they take it as a point of faith that this proves Kinkade is the best. But his fans don’t only rely on this supply-and-demand justification. They go back to values." "I see 30 to 40 gallery shows a week, and no matter what kind of mood I’m in, no matter how bad the art is, I almost always feel better afterward. I can learn as much from bad art as from good." "I’ve always said that an art critic can put aside politics around art." More In Art "Many say an art dealer running a museum is a ‘conflict of interest.’ But maybe the art world has lived an artificial or unintentional lie all of these years when it comes to conflicts of interest."― Jerry Saltz "To want friendship is a great fault. Friendship ought to be a gratuitous joy, like the joys afforded by art or life."― Simone Weil "Not to say people shouldn’t get rich from art. I adore the alchemy wherein artists who cast a complex spell make rich people give them their money. (Just writing it makes me cackle.) But too many artists have been making money without magic."― Jerry Saltz
