"I’ve always said that an art critic can put aside politics around art." ― Jerry Saltz Topic(s): Art More From Jerry Saltz "In art, scandal is a false narrative, a smoke screen that camouflages rather than reveals. When we don’t know what we’re seeing, we overreact." "Much good art got made while money ruled; I like a lot of it, and hardship and poverty aren’t virtues. The good news is that, since almost no one will be selling art, artists – especially emerging ones – won’t have to think about turning out a consistent style or creating a brand. They’ll be able to experiment as much as they want." "When art wins, everyone wins." More In Art "A sad fact of life lately at the Museum of Modern Art is that when it comes to group shows of contemporary painting from the collection, the bar has been set pretty low."― Jerry Saltz "The task of art today is to bring chaos into order."― Theodor Adorno "The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly."― Aldous Huxley
