More From Robert Motherwell

Almost any tale of our doings is comic. we are bottomlessly comic to each other. even the most adored and beloved person is comic to his lover. the novel is a comic form. language is a comic form, and makes jokes in its sleep. god, if he existed, would laugh at his creation. yet it is also the case that life is horrible, without metaphysical sense, wrecked by chance, pain and the close prospect of death. out of this is born irony, our dangerous and necessary tool.
Pain Sleep Laughing
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.

The true art of the gods is the comic. the comic is a condescension of the divine to the world of man; it is the sublime vision, which cannot be studied, but must ever be celestially granted. in the comic the gods see their own being reflected as in a mirror, and while the tragic poet is bound by strict laws, they will allow the comic artist a freedom as unlimited as their own.

Comic books sort of follow with the move - if people see the movie and if they're interested in the character and want to see more of the character, they start buying the comic books. so a good movie helps the sale of the comic books and the comic books help the movie and one hand washes the other. so, i don't think there's any reason to think that comics will die out.

Wit is artificial; humor is natural. wit is accidental; humor is inevitable. wit is born of conscious effort; humor, of the allotted ironies of fate. wit can be expressed only in language; humor can be developed sufficiently in situation.

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.

Honestly, i have s much respect for single moms or anybody who finds themselves a single mother, but to even choose to be single mother is just so courageous to me. it is such a hard job to raise a child and be everything to that child without a partner. it's just admirable and courageous and brave and every other valiant word i can think of. i don't know if i could do it on my own.

No delusion is greater than the notion that method and industry can make up for lack of mother-wit, either in science or in practical life.

Each child is biologically required to have a mother. fatherhood is a well-regarded theory, but motherhood is a fact.
Mom Mother Children
Someone once told me not to be afraid of being afraid, because, as she said, 'anxiety is a glimpse of your own daring.' isn't that great? it means that part of your agitation is just excitement about what you're getting ready to accomplish. don't sell yourself short by being so afraid of failure that you don't dare to make any mistakes. make your mistakes and learn from them. and remember: no matter how many mistakes you make, your mother always loves you!
