What I say should always be prefaced with this: I'm not really politically articulate. I just try to be like Thomas Paine: what is common sense? So when I say these things to you, I am speaking from a humanist point of view. I just look around and see what's wrong. ↗

A vacant white room with lights is still a submission to the neutral. Works of art seen in such spaces seem to be going through a kind of esthetic convalescence. ↗

Instead of causing us to remember the past like the old monuments, the new monuments seem to cause us to forget the future. ↗

Questions about form seem as hopelessly inadequate as questions about content. ↗
