You Want It, You Buy It, You

Warhol's Images Made Sense To Me, Although I Knew Nothing At The Time Of His Background In Commercial Art. To Be Honest, I Didn't Think About Him A Hell Of A Lot.

I Mean, Making Art Is About Objectifying Your Experience Of The World, Transforming The Flow Of Moments Into Something Visual, Or Textual, Or Musical, Whatever. Art Creates A Kind Of Commentary.

... The Thing That's Happening Today Vis-á-vis Computer Imaging, Vis-á-vis Alteration, Is That It No Longer Needs To Be Based On The Real At All. I Don't Want To Get Into Jargon - Let's Just Say That Photography To Me No Longer Pertains To The Rhetoric Of Realism; It Pertains More Perhaps To The Rhetoric Of The Unreal Rather Than The Real Or Of Course The Hyperreal.
