More From Susan Sontag
- "The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art – and, by analogy, our own experience – more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means."
- "A family’s photograph album is generally about the extended family and, often, is all that remains of it."
- "The becoming of man is the history of the exhaustion of his possibilities."
More In Art
- "When you create art, the world has to wait."― Will Smith
- "The giant white cube is now impeding rather than enhancing the rhythms of art. It preprograms a viewer’s journey, shifts the emphasis from process to product, and lacks individuality and openness. It’s not that art should be seen only in rutty bombed-out environments, but it should seem alive."― Jerry Saltz
- "Homer has taught all other poets the art of telling lies skillfully."― Aristotle
