Your natural talent
The most faithful, profound, harmonious interpretations of my work have been made by people “who know nothing about art” No one can deny this, since I am the only one who really knows what I wanted to express in my sculptures.
Too many professional art critics talk a lot of nonsense about such and such a figurative style. What can one say about contemporary art for those who only respond to true and natural sensitivity? This is the reason why each of my sculptures has an accompanying text describing its basic theme, in which everyone can find for their own sensitivity and this without deforming the essential expression.
However, some cultivated professionals, with knowledge in the history of art, also possess the TALENT of “intuitional” knowledge due to their deep sensitivity. The SAME talent, or real culture, the SAME knowledge that many of you, not conditioned by intellect and “knowing nothing about art” as you might say, have already.
This kind of person is very useful to the transmission of the depth of real artistic exploration. I strongly recommend reading IRVING STONE's book Lust for life, for his comments on sculptures.
