The art of tomorrow will be a collective treasure, or it will not be art at all.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Art should be a shared experience reflecting collective creativity; otherwise, it lacks true value.
Victor Vasarely emphasizes the importance of collaboration and community in the creation of art. He suggests that art's value lies in its ability to unite people and capture a shared experience, implying that individualistic or isolated art fails to resonate with meaningful impact. The quote invites us to consider how art functions as a collective treasure that should be appreciated and developed by the community rather than solely by individuals.

My art, what do you want to say about it? Do you think you can explain the merits of a picture to those who do not see them? . . . I can find the best and clearest words to explain my meaning, and I have spoken to the most intelligent people about art, and they have not understood; but among people who understand, words are not necessary, you say humph, he, ha and everything has been said.
