Howard S. Becker Quotes

It Is Unfeeling To Speak Of The People Who Cooperate In The Production Of Art Works As "personnel" Or, Worse Yet, "support Personnel", But That Accurately Reflects Their Importance In The Conventional Art World View. In That View, The Person Who Does The "real Work", Making The Choices That Give The Work Its Artistic Importance And Integrity, Is The Artist, Who May Be Any Of A Number Of People Involved In Its Production, Everyone Else's Job Is To Assist. I Do Not Accept The View Of The Relative Importance Of The "personnel" Involved That The Term Connotes, But I Use It To Emphasize That It Is The Common View In Art Worlds
