Advice from Sol Lewitt to Eva Hess

Such great advice to any artist,

To Eva Hesse on being true to oneself and not worrying about critics:

“........Stop it and just DO… Don’t worry about cool, make your own uncool. Make your own, your own world… You must practice being stupid, dumb, unthinking, empty. Then you will be able to DO! I have much confidence in YOU and even though you are tormenting yourself, the work you do is very good. Try to do some BAD work. The worst you think of and see what happens but mainly relax and let everything go to hell.”
