quote of the day

Sandbeck c. 1990 Twelve Part Vertical Construction  | Hirshhorn
"One should look at works of art without any intention of deriving knowledge, and rejoice if sometimes, as of itself, a confirmation or enrichment of our knowledge comes in a flash; and one should not approach them with the determination to solve a problem. One must let them speak, one must converse with them, but one must not interrogate them. To an inquisitor they refuse any information."
On Art and Connoisseurship | Max Friedlander
