Quote by Roy Lichtenstein

I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.

I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.

Summary

This quote suggests the desire of the artist to detach themselves from their art, distancing their personal identity from their creative output. By assuming this perspective, the artist might aim to explore their art objectively and independently of their own experiences or emotions. This detachment may provide them with the freedom to experiment, explore new ideas, and allow the audience to interpret their art without biases. By disregarding their personal connection to the artwork, the artist creates a space where the focus is solely on the creation itself, allowing for a fresh and open interpretation.
