Master Kaprow (1927-2006)


Master's Rules: A Master should have MASTERS

Western art has two avant-garde histories: one of artlike art and the other of lifelike art. They've been lumped together as parts of a succession of movements fervently committed to innovation, but they represent fundamentally contrasting philosophies of reality... artlike art holds that art is separate from life and everything else, whereas lifelike art holds that art is connected to life and everything else. In other words, there is art at service of art and art at the service of life. The maker of artlike art tends to be a specialist; the maker of lifelike art, a generalist.

Allan Kaprow
