Art works because it appeals to certain faculties of the mind. Music depends on details of the auditory system, painting and sculpture on the visual system. Poetry and literature depend on language.
Steven Pinker
At a certain point, I just put the building and the art impulse together. I decided that building was a legitimate way to make sculpture.
Martin Puryear
But I don't think that sculpture belongs in everyday life like a table does, or like a chair.
Anthony Caro
Colloquial poetry is to the real art as the barber's wax dummy is to sculpture.
Ezra Pound
