David Elliott quotes:

We are concerned with the relationship between art and life. Contemporary art is only intelligible in terms of its relationship to our life.

We want people to experience art and think about it. The art reflects our time, it is about our culture.

The educator and the public need to have an opportunity to discuss why certain art is important.

Unless you are a born connoisseur of art, you will not be able to judge by yourself why certain art is superior to other art.
