Quote by Jerry Saltz

A canon is antithetical to everything the New York art world has been about for the past 40 years, during which we went from being the center of the art world to being one of many centers.

A canon is antithetical to everything the New York art world

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of a canon, or a fixed set of artistic works considered superior or important, goes against the spirit of the New York art world in recent decades. It highlights that New York has transitioned from being the sole center of the art world to a hub among many. In this diverse landscape, the idea of a canon is seen as incompatible, as it undermines the inclusivity and plurality that have become characteristic of the contemporary art scene in New York.

Is it not by learning to read the book of nature with the eyes of faith that we come to recognize the drop of divinity that resides in our own souls though hidden, master? In the end is this not faith; to seek the light that takes us further, the light of Christ that brings that to which reason and knowledge alone can never raise itself? This is truth!

We cut these numerous windings in our destinies daily with our own hands, while we imagine that we are pursuing a track on the royal high road of respectability and duty, and then complain of those ways being so intricate and so dark. We stand bewildered before the mystery of our own making, and the riddles of life that we will not solve, and then accuse the great Sphinx of devouring us.
