"FOR ME THE LACK OF AN AUDIENCE- THE TOTAL ANONYMITY OF THE STUDIO-PROVIDES THE GREATEST INCENTIVE TO SATISFY MY OWN DEMANDS UPON MYSELF WITHOUT CONSIDERATION FOR, OR QUALIFICATION BY , THE INTELLECTUAL APPETITE, OR LACK OF IT , ON THE PART OF THE AUDIENCE...MY OWN VIEW IS PARADOXICALLY, THAT BY PURSUING THE MOST NARCISSISTIC RELATION TO ARTISTIC SATISFACTION ONE CAN BEST FULFILL THE FUNDAMENTAL OBLIGATION OF THE ARTIST OF GIVING PLEASURE TO OTHERS.7" 7FROM A 1961 LETTER TO MRS. H.L .AUSTIN. FROM THE BOOK "THE EMOTION MACHINE" BY MARVIN MINSKY PG. 64
