Robert Barry Want Quotations

I am a very lucky artist in the sense that I have had all my life a lot of opportunities to do what I want to do.

If you want to know about what's good in art, you should talk to an artist.

I work with deadlines. It is terrible to be an artist where you are just producing work and nobody gives a damn. Nobody wants to show it.

By being critical, you also develop your own style of what you like, what direction you want to move.

And yes, there are things I want to keep, that I like around me - especially when there's very little left. I just want to keep those little bits of reminders of my past. There are certain drawings from the '60s; certain little paintings from the '60s that I keep.
