Looking back with Robert Frank, the most influential photographer alive.

Just took four pages of notes on this article about one of my all time biggest heroes.

As Ed Ruscha put it, “You remember where you were the first time you saw “The Americans’.”

My Favorite Bit from Adrienne Rich's "21 Love Poems"

XVII

No one’s fated or doomed to love anyone.

The accidents happen, we’re not heroines,

they happen in our lives like car crashes,

books that change us, neighborhoods

we move into and come to love.

Tristan and Isolde is scarcely the story,

women at least should know the difference

between love and death. No poison cup,

no penance. Merely a notion that the tape-recorder

should have caught some ghost of us: that tape-recorder

not merely played but should have listened to us,

and could instruct those after us:

this we were, this is how we tried to love,

and these are the forces they had ranged against us,

and these are the forces we had ranged within us

within us and against us, against us and within us.

Art begins only where the ‘what’ is forgotten and interest in the ‘how’ remains

Richard Müller- Freienfels’ Psychologie der Kunst

Serious art and popular entertainment, in their diverse ways, offer refuge and distraction. Their pleasures and comforts are not trivial, but essential. Art is the domain of solved problems, even if the problems are formal and the solutions artificial

There is a constant tension, or rather a never ending clash, between art and everyday life. But it is precisely this tension which makes art a perpetual ferment of human life

— Jan Mukarovsky, Czech theorist
