Great artists suffer for the people.

'Rent' resonates with people across generations because it's really great art.

Once people have seen four or five Henry Moores, they will have a sense of great art.

Ray Johnson was a great innovator of mail art and photocopying and sending people photocopies.

Just because people can express themselves through their art doesn't mean they are great communicators in person.
