Reading about the art world is like reverse-therapy. But you still have to pay.
2
It helps if you are short sighted.

Photography that says too much about how the world should be is like the country bumpkin who smears the food all over his face. There’s nothing wrong with it ethically, it’s just a little inappropriate.

Is the most artistic thing you could be doing today being a government bank regulator? Yes. It probably is. How conceptual!

As a photographer, give up any desire, hopes and dreams to be successful. Of course, money and prestige aren’t success.

The greatest freedom that exists, is the freedom to not earn any money.

Pictures are poetry, and cinema is prose. Cats are dogs. And dogs are toothbrushes. Kind of.

Everything must now be told as a cruel joke. People expect to learn through humour. Smirk.

Be unsentimental. Nothing has produced more bad art than ‘feelings’. The very worst art has been produced by ‘social feelings’.
10
Bad art is unfailingly made by uninteresting people. That doesn’t work the other way around though.
