Cool or Not Cool
At times I have doubts. So I read over what Sol LeWitt wrote in a letter to Eva Hesse:
"Don't worry about cool, make your own uncool . . .
He had a lot more to say to her about listening to your own inner critic. Do a Google search (here) to see the full text, uncensored, on many websites/blogs.
I got that Sol LeWitt quote to Eva Hesse from the book THE ACCIDENTAL MASTERPIECE by Michael Kimmelman a few years ago-- great quote-- typed out and on my bulletin board-- uncensored!
I wrote down the long version in my quote book many years ago. He is cool .... or uncool depending on what you want him to be. The copper head dude is pretty cool in my book!
