More quotes by Robert Barry
Words have very potent meanings and people read them and they react to them personally. They are very suggestive in terms of your life and things like that.
Robert Barry
By being critical, you also develop your own style of what you like, what direction you want to move.
Robert Barry
I try to create a kind of dynamic thing that hopefully some people will become interested in. And what they do with it after that is sort of up to them. But it's a specific item, it's a specific thing that I've done. And what they do with it is their problem.
Robert Barry
Most of the criticism of my work was pretty good, but occasionally it would not be. And I just sort of felt that they absolutely didn't get what I was doing. It was their limitations on what they thought art should be or what they thought my work should be in relation to earlier work or whatever.
Robert Barry
I don't have a dream project. I don't really think in those terms, to tell you the truth.
Robert Barry
I really wasn't about to get a Ph.D. in art history, you know, which you'd absolutely needed. And that was not something I wanted. And I loved art history, but not that way.
Robert Barry
And we live in a kind of realm of language and words and so forth. So we can sort of relate to them. They don't exist without us. We create words.
Robert Barry
I am a very lucky artist in the sense that I have had all my life a lot of opportunities to do what I want to do.
Robert Barry
I didn't like anti-Vietnam War art. I didn't like feminist art. I thought it was heavy-handed and stupid - as art.
Robert Barry
I wanted my style to be very recognizable.
Robert Barry
I was never that big a rock-and-roll, rock guy. I really preferred jazz, you know, that kind of thing.
Robert Barry
I always took photographs. I photographed a lot of trees, by the way, which is another image I used often in my work, the tree image.
Robert Barry
I shoot a lot of video, first of all, whatever I think is interesting, just my travels hard to say why. If something looks good, I take a picture or try to shoot it.
Robert Barry
reaking up the space and using the space, using the length of the space, the height of it, whatever, the light, all of those things. It's something that you have to kind of slowly recognize in your work and develop over years of making work.
Robert Barry
I was always - I was a movie nut. I lived in the movies, really.
Robert Barry
I usually, if I give a talk, I don't usually prepare anything. I just say - you know, I may stop talking by showing some video or slides of what I do but mainly I try to respond to what problems people have with my work.
Robert Barry
I certainly don't believe that people can read other people's minds.
Robert Barry
I always had a fairly decent income, coming in just from the art.
Robert Barry
I am always producing work, but there is always a sort of deadline where you have to finish work. I don't do it for a show. In other words, I am not like a fashion designer where I have a, you know - I have to put out the full line or I have to put out the summer line like that.
Robert Barry
I relied mainly on other artists, who I think are smarter than critics, any critics or curators or anybody like that. They really know.
