blog on Willem De Kooning content is a glimpse: interview with david sylvester

        This interview has me really questioning the way i think about my art, the way i go about it, and the importance of some particular things in art.

         William de kooning talks about how silly ideas in art really are. He use cubism for an example he says "i don't think artist have particularly good ideas..... cubists, when you think about it now, it is so silly to look at an object from many angles." and its true its very silly to think that a whole group of artist explored this style. so, what does this say about me. i have a lot of trouble when it comes to ideas, not that they are hard to come by, but their importance gets to me. i think that every little thing matters. and i feel like i must remember this. no matter how important an idea is it's silly. otherwise i'll just lose sight of what i'm trying to say. i'll feel like the idea is above me. i'm not sure this is what he meant but this is what i got.
