In art one idea is as good as another.

Willem De Kooning
About This Quote

In art one idea is as good as another.  This quote teaches us that it does not matter if we like the art or not, it will still be great because of the beauty in the idea behind it. This means that we should not judge any type of art based on our own personal taste, but rather on how it can make us feel and how we can use the image in our mind to express that emotion.  Art is everywhere and in everything and we should never judge it by its appearance.
