We all name ourselves. We call ourselves artists. Nobody asks us. Nobody says you are or you aren't.

The artist as businessman is uglier than the businessman as artist.

Ad Reinhardt 35 quotes

There is a black which is old...

There is a black which is old and a black which is fresh. Lustrous black and dull black, black in sunlight and black in shadow.

Ad Reinhardt 35 quotes

The only and one way to say w...

The only and one way to say what abstract art or art-as-art is, is to say what it is not.

Ad Reinhardt 35 quotes

The ugliest spectacle is that...

The ugliest spectacle is that of artists selling themselves. Art as a commodity is an ugly idea... The artist as businessman is uglier than the businessman as artist.

Ad Reinhardt 35 quotes

The one object of fifty years...

The one object of fifty years of abstract art is to present art-as-art and as nothing else, to make it into the one thing it is only, separating and defining it more and more, making it purer and emptier, more absolute and more exclusive - non-objective, non-representational, non-figurative, non-imagist, non-expressionist, non-subjective. the only and one way to say what abstract art or art-as-art is, is to say what it is not.

Ad Reinhardt 35 quotes

I want to emphasize the idea of black as intellectuality and conventionality.

Ad Reinhardt 35 quotes

It is not right for painters ...

It is not right for painters to think that painting is like prostitution, that 'first you do it for love, then you do it for others, and finally you do it for money.

Ad Reinhardt 35 quotes

As for a picture, if it isn't...

As for a picture, if it isn't worth a thousand words, the hell with it.

Ad Reinhardt 35 quotes

An artist who dedicates his life to art, burdens his art with his life, and his life with his art.

Ad Reinhardt 35 quotes

As an artist I would like to ...

As an artist I would like to eliminate the symbolic pretty much, for black is interesting not as a color but as a non-color and as the absence of color.

Ad Reinhardt 35 quotes

My painting represents the victory of the forces of darkness and peace over the powers of light and evil.

Ad Reinhardt 35 quotes

I like the idea of the museum...

I like the idea of the museum world and the university-academic situation where artists talk to each other or where artists or art students study with artists.

Ad Reinhardt 35 quotes

If some student came up and wanted to know where to study painting, you'd want to suggest someplace, but there's no place. I wouldn't know where to send a student to study.

Ad Reinhardt 35 quotes

Sculpture is something you bump into when you back up to look at a painting.

Ad Reinhardt 35 quotes

Only a bad artist thinks he has a good idea. A good artist does not need anything.

Ad Reinhardt 35 quotes

Now almost every artist outside of New York is connected with some school or some museum school, and even in New York the majority are. That's an interesting fact when you take the idea of making money, making a living selling paintings. Only a dozen or two painters do that.

Ad Reinhardt 35 quotes

The job at Brooklyn is interesting because Brooklyn reflects what happened to university art departments everywhere. It might be the worst department now, and yet at one point it was the best in the country.

Ad Reinhardt 35 quotes

I taught a lot of art history...

I taught a lot of art history, especially Chinese, Japanese, and Indian. But the painting classes came back. The nudes came back. Not so much the still lifes. So now our department is the worst department, partly because it has the worst facilities.

Art is too serious to be taken seriously.
