More quotes by John Chamberlain
I'm more interested in seeing what the material tells me than in imposing my will on it.
John Chamberlain
Art is basically made by dissatisfied people who are willing to find some means to relieve the dissatisfaction.
John Chamberlain
Thus a new way of finding fluidity will inevitably be imposed on management and labor alike. The profit-sharing, or progress sharing union contract is the only possible way of satisfying labor and the consumer without saddling industry with fixed costs that in depression periods can kill off marginal companies like flies.
John Chamberlain
The good thing about being an artist, is it's a legitimate way of looking at things cross-eyed.
John Chamberlain
I wasn't interested in car parts per se, I was interested in either the color or the shape or the amount... Just the sheet metal. It already had a coat of paint on it. And some of it was formed.... I believe that common materials are the best materials.
John Chamberlain
Art is a liaison between some sort of deranged mentality and others who are not going through it.
John Chamberlain
