Art is Memory

Art Review | 'The Big Nothing': Artists Who Just Say No. To Everything.: "From a certain perspective, all art is already implicitly a state of mind. Once you encounter it, what do you take away except a memory? This is the case with a painting as much as it is with a concert or a play. And memory is thought, a mental seed planted by an artist, which is reproduced in as many different variations as the number of people in whom the memory exists. Good art proliferates widely in the minds of people who encounter it."
