"Because of my Calvinistic upbringing, I was trained to think that what you do has to have a purpose." — Anselm Kiefer

Not content, but the road the artist takes, is the interesting part.

When I see a new artist I give myself a lot of time to reflect and decide whether it's art or not.

Art is difficult. It's not entertainment.

Art really is something very difficult. It is difficult to make, and it is sometimes difficult for the viewer to understand. It is difficult to work out what is art and what is not art.
