VAN NEISTAT: Fantasy Fixing

@THE BEDROOM BEATMAKER “Good artists borrow, great artists steal.” “The quote in this form was a favorite of Steve Jobs but he but he was probably (mis)quoting Pablo Picasso who said “Lesser artists borrow; great artists steal” - who in turn might be rephrasing Igor Stravinsky, but both sayings may well originate in T. S. Eliot’s dictum: “Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different than that from which it is torn.” - The origins of this quote itself is an example of great artists stealing.”

There’s something in his aesthetic that reminds me of browsing architecture books published through 70s-80s

[@mobeenzaffar4434]

I have a similar feeling about this work, it's very tactile and crude yet beautiful in its simplicity. I enjoy the fact he uses a typewriter instead of aa computer, it is direct and mechanical, because as the spirited man said, "computers are my curse".

I think it's hard work more than a touch running through the family. Casey has often told about how Van learned him about film making, and you can clearly see simillarities in their story telling and visual style. I just think they helped each other a lot and both worked their asses off.
