Still from Richard Serra’s Hand Catching Lead, 1968
“Beauty is… a notion that’s very hard for me to understand in that it seems to be something that people lay over any given historical period and the criteria always seems to be behind the times. I think, for the most part, artists don’t get involved with beauty. They get involved with the language of art, they get involved with trying to extend the language of art, and if beauty happens it’s a residue of their involvement in the particularities of what they’re trying to accomplish in terms of communicating something to someone else.”
Richard Serra
