Conceptual Art Became The Liberating Idea That

The Idea Becomes A Machine That Makes The Art.

Obviously A Drawing Of A Person Is Not A Real Person, But A Drawing Of A Line Is A Real Line.

What The Work Of Art Looks Like Isn't Too Important. It Has To Look Like Something If It Has A Physical Form. No Matter What Form It May Finally Have It Must Begin With An Idea. It Is The Process Of Conception And Realization With Which The Artist Is Concerned.

In My Case, I Used The Elements Of These Simple Forms - Square, Cube, Line And Color - To Produce Logical Systems. Most Of These Systems Were Finite; That Is, They Were Complete Using All Possible Variations. This Kept Them Simple.

Artists Teach Critics What To Think. Critics Repeat What The Artists Teach Them.
