‎"The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve's success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented."
—President Obama tonight on the passing of Steve Jobs

As we all found out last night on our iPhones, Steve Jobs passed away yesterday at the age of 56. As with the deaths of Kurt Cobain and Princess Diana, we'll all remember the moment we found out he was gone. We will also never forget the way he changed just about everything about the way we live our lives. Much of the news today is discussing the ways in which this visionary influenced technology and culture but ArtInfo recently published the following discussion about how Jobs changed the visual arts as well. In our own small tribute to the man we admired so much, we are reposting this excellent discussion.
