Was ist Kunst? Diskussion in Permanenz / What is Art? Discussion in Permanence

Ruth Aspöck (Vienna)

ABSTRACT:

The answers given by different artists will never be the same. We should not give the answers given by our parents and grandparents. We have to think it over anew, knowing that this is sometimes difficult and painful. Every artist, male and female, has to ask: "Why do I, what I do? What is it, what I produce?" The questions asked need clear and intelligent answers. In my speech, I will try to give them.
