> You can’t possibly create anything meaningful that would speak to people who really consume art, because those people are young.

This seems an unusual statement. I consume a lot more art in my 40s than I did in my 20s for example.

As a counter-example, Stan Lee only began drawing superheros when he was 43. Hard to argue his work isn't consumed by young people.

And of course Paul Cézanne only got his first exhibition when hr was 56.

That is very cool about Cezanne, but I suspect he is one of the outsiders I am referring to.
