"Art is what we call the thing an artist does.
"Art is what we call the thing an artist does. It's not the sound, the medium, or the oil or the price or whether you listen to it or it hangs on a wall or you eat it.What matters, what makes it art, is that the person who made it overcame the resistance, ignored the voice of doubt and made something worth making.Something risky. Something human. Art is not in the eye of the beholder. It's in the soul of the artist."
