“An original is a creation motivated by desire. Any reproduction of an original is motivated by necessity. The original is the result of an automatic process, the reproduction, of a mechanical process. In other words: Inspiration then information; each validates the other. All other considerations are beyond the scope of these statements. It is marvelous that we are the only species that creates gratuitous forms. To create is divine, to reproduce is human.” — Man Ray

“Jackson Pollock, the renowned American artist known for his abstract expressionist paintings, didn’t often speak at length about the monetary value of his art. He was more focused on the creative and expressive aspects of his work. Pollock did express his thoughts on art in general and his artistic process, but discussions about the market value of his art were not a central theme in his public statements. The value of his art became more prominent in later years, as his works gained significant recognition and fetched high prices in the art market.”
