Robert Hughes Running Quotations

What we need more of is slow art: art that holds time as a vase holds water: art that grows out of modes of perception and making whose skill and doggedness make you think and feel; art that isn’t merely sensational, that doesn’t get its message across in ten seconds, that isn’t falsely iconic, that hooks onto something deep-running in our natures. In a word, art that is the very opposite of mass media.

Art grows out of modes of perception that make you feel and think...that hooks on to something deep-running in our natures.

Popular in our time, unpopular in his. So runs the stereotype of rejected genius.
