More From Jean-Luc Godard

It is neither art for art, nor art against art. i am for art, but for art that has nothing to do with art. art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with art.
Art
The one object of fifty years of abstract art is to present art-as-art and as nothing else, to make it into the one thing it is only, separating and defining it more and more, making it purer and emptier, more absolute and more exclusive - non-objective, non-representational, non-figurative, non-imagist, non-expressionist, non-subjective. the only and one way to say what abstract art or art-as-art is, is to say what it is not.
Art Years Fifty
The voice of our age seems by no means favorable to art, at all events to that kind of art to which my inquiry is directed. the course of events has given a direction to the genius of the time that threatens to remove it continually further from the ideal of art. for art has to leave reality, it has to raise itself bodily above necessity and neediness; for art is the daughter of freedom, and it requires its prescriptions and rules to be furnished by the necessity of spirits and not by that of matter.
Daughter Art Mean
When things get tough, this is what you should do: make good art. i'm serious. husband runs off with a politician -- make good art. leg crushed and then eaten by a mutated boa constrictor -- make good art. irs on your trail -- make good art. cat exploded -- make good art. someone on the internet thinks what you're doing is stupid or evil or it's all been done before -- make good art.
Running Art Husband
The only thing i collect is art. i collect it because i like looking at it. a lot of it is really personal stuff that my friends have made, paintings that my husband's mother made, and things that i bought. i buy abstract art on ebay, and i buy some outsider art on ebay, or what is called folk art, i buy a lot of. i have a lot of professional art work as well as more stuff my friends' kids make. to have a wall of art to look at, i feel really surrounded by love, because so much of the work is related to my friendships.
Mother Art Wall
I know now that he who hopes to be universal in his art must plant in his own soil. great art is like a tree, which grows in a particular place and has a trunk, leaves, blossoms, boughs, fruit, and roots of its own. the more native art is, the more it belongs to the entire world, because taste is rooted in nature. when art is true, it is one with nature. this is the secret of primitive art and also of the art of the mastersmichelangelo, czanne, seurat, and renoir. the secret of my best work is that it is mexican.
