Ad Reinhardt - From the Abstraction category:
The only way to say what abstract is, is to say what it is not. (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Abstraction category:
Abstract painting is not just another school or movement or style but the first truly unmannered and untrammeled and un-entangled, styleless, universal painting. (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Activity category:
Painting cannot be the only activity of a mature artist. (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Art category:
The one thing to say about art is that it is one thing. Art is art-as-art and everything else is everything else. Art as art is nothing but art. Art is not what is not art. (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Art category:
Art is too serious to be taken seriously. (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Artists category:
We all name ourselves. We call ourselves artists. Nobody asks us. Nobody says you are or you aren't. (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Brother/Sisterhood category:
I like the idea of the museum world and the university-academic situation where artists talk to each other or where artists or art students study with artists. (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Business category:
The ugliest spectacle is that of artists selling themselves. Art as a commodity is an ugly idea... The artist as businessman is uglier than the businessman as artist. (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Business category:
Art is not the spiritual side of business. (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Colour category:
As an artist I would like to eliminate the symbolic pretty much, for black is interesting not as a color but as a non-color and as the absence of color. (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Education category:
- b.1913 d.1967...
The job at Brooklyn is interesting because Brooklyn reflects what happened to university art departments everywhere. It might be the worst department now, and yet at one point it was the best in the country. (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Education category:
If some student came up and wanted to know where to study painting, you'd want to suggest someplace, but there's no place. I wouldn't know where to send a student to study. (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Ideas category:
I want to emphasize the idea of black as intellectuality and conventionality. (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Meaning category:
It's been said many times in world art writing that one can find some of painting's meaning by looking not only at what painters do, but what they refuse to do. (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Opposites category:
I tried to oppose the academic to the marketplace. (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Painting category:
My painting represents the victory of the forces of darkness and peace over the powers of light and evil. (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Painting category:
My paintings are the last paintings one can make. (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Profession category:
-b.1913 d.1967...
It is not right for painters to think that painting is like prostitution, that 'first you do it for love, then you do it for others, and finally you do it for money.' (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Selling category:
-b.1913 d.1967...
Now almost every artist outside of New York is connected with some school or some museum school, and even in New York the majority are. That's an interesting fact when you take the idea of making money, making a living selling paintings. Only a dozen or two painters do that. (Ad Reinhardt)
Ad Reinhardt - From the Standards category:
Only a bad artist thinks he has a good idea. A good artist does not need anything. (Ad Reinhardt)
