It's always necessary to seek for perfection. Obviously, for us, this word no longer has the same meaning. To me, it means: from one canvas to the next, always go further, further.
Great art stretches the taste, it doesn't follow tastes.
I believe that art can make relevant and progressive contributions to culture and society.
Art demands of us that we shall not stand still.
I would like to look back on my body of work and be proud of each record in its own right, but as a whole, I want to continue to grow and move forward.
Avant-garde is French for bullshit
I like to be a part of shows that are trying to make waves and changes.
In the world of art, as in the whole of creation, freedom and progress are the main objectives.
New arts destroy the old.
Oil-painting is a developed technique. Why go backwards?
We need new art. Old art cannot do that. It can do lots of other things, and of course humanity hasn't changed that much in the last thousand or two thousand years.So that the old Greek dramas are still at the very heart, core, of human experience, but still we need new stuff.
In music, as I find myself forever saying, things don't get better or worse: they evolve and transform themselves.
Progressive art can assist people to learn what's at work in the society in which they live.
In my opinion, the true pioneers are those artists who make manifest in their works the new content, the determining characteristics of life in our time.
On every album you can see my growth.
Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation.
Lady Gaga is the present and the future. She is the most revolutionary and inspirational artist. She is fearless and daring.
Art forms that appeal to [leftists] tend to focus on ... defeat and despair ... as if there were no hope of accomplishing anything through rational calculation.
Everything changes but the avant-garde.
Under Thatcher, who ruled us with an iron rod, great art was made. Amazing designers and musicians. Acid house was born. Very colourful and progressive.
I think I come from a time when all the artists I grew up with and I loved always used to try and push the boundaries, and there doesn't seem so much of that, really.
The avant-garde feel important, but they hardly understand what they're doing.
We'll never change the fact that we are hardcore hip-hop and we make rebellious hip-hop music, and we're going to keep doing that and progress with our production, progress with our lyrical styles, be creative, and just have fun with it.
Is it not our duty to find the symphonic formula which fits our time, one which progress, daring and modern victory demand? The century of airplanes has a right to its own music.
I think the music that's called 'future stuff' is the soundtrack to the few people who have the nerve and the courage to continue, to go to the end of the line and not be deterred.
