Let's make room for the kind of art that challenges us, pushes boundaries, stirs and inspires, and takes our breath away with its uniqueness. Let's reconnect with our artist souls and trust that if we make good art, we'll make good money.

About This Quote

This quote is a reminder that we need to resist the urge to conform and do what we're told. When we do so, we miss out on the power of art. The science of art has been found by many to be a thing of beauty. The work of artists such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko has been called "modern art" because they broke away from traditional approaches in order to create something new and exciting.

We need to stop and look at if we can continue in that vein. Art that challenges us is the kind that leads to self-discovery and making someone else happy. That's what makes it worthwhile.
