“An artist cannot be partially sincere any more than art can be an approximation of beauty.”

“An artist cannot speak about his art any more than a plant can discuss horticulture.”
As quoted in Newsweek (16 May 1955) Variant translation: Asking an artist to talk about his work is like asking a plant to discuss horticulture.
“I cannot be convinced that great artists are moralists. Art is first appearances, then meaning.”
