“When I make art, I think about its ability to connect with others, to bring them into the process.”– Jim Hodges Related Quotes “It is a myth that art has to be sold. It is not like stocking a grocery store where people fill a pushcart. Art is a product that has no apparent need. The salesperson builds the need in the mind of the buyer.”– Jack White “The public history of modern art is the story of conventional people not knowing what they are dealing with.”– Golda Meir “The foundation of empire is art and science. Remove them or degrade them, and the empire is no more. Empire follows art and not vice versa as Englishmen suppose.”– William Blake
