art isn’t a product. It’s a quality

“I’m a little taken aback by anyone calling himself an artist

because of my feeling that that’s the kind of designation that

other people should give. You can be an artist in any field,

but getting a degree to call yourself an artist would be like

getting a diploma to call yourself a genius. If your work is

good enough, it can be art, but art isn’t a product. It’s a quality.

Sometimes that’s lost sight of. Quality can be in anything.”

—Charles Eames
