About this Quote

This quote by Howard Hodgkin talks to the suggestion of a framework in the modern-day art world in the United States. Hodgkin is referring to the New York School, which was a team of abstract expressionist musicians who were energetic in the 1940s and also 1950s. The New York School was a natural team of musicians who shared an usual visual as well as style, and their works were significant in the advancement of contemporary art. However, Hodgkin suggests that this framework was only momentary, which it did not last for long. This might be taken a discourse on the ever-changing nature of the art globe, and also exactly how quickly patterns and movements can come and go. Inevitably, Hodgkin's quote talks with the suggestion that the structure of the contemporary art world is constantly changing and also developing, which it is hard to maintain a cohesive team of musicians for any type of extended time period.
