Walter Darby Bannard
If we see an object as a bowl, it may inhibit seeing it as craft, just as seeing it as craft might inhibit seeing it as art. See first name later.
Walter Darby Bannard
Art is too popular. If plumbing was as popular as art is we would have amateur plumbers running around brandishing wrenches and Roto-Rooters, climbing in and out of sewers and writing gibberish about pipe systems. And none of our our toilets would work.
Walter Darby Bannard
Art is there for nourishment, not explication.
Walter Darby Bannard
There's a big difference between grabbing attention and rewarding attention.
Walter Darby Bannard
The struggle to be original hates conformity, but the struggle to be better disregards it, or takes advantage of it to build workable conventions.
