Some Quotes
“Let’s be sensible about this. I put a lot of things into my work which are very personal to me. So how can the public feel these things? I think most people get to my work through the back door. They’re attracted by the realism and they sense the emotion and the abstraction — and eventually, I hope, they get their own powerful emotion.” -Andrew Wyeth
“I mean, art for art's sake is ridiculous. Art is for the sake of one's needs.” -Carl Andre "No one knows what Colonel Parkman really looked like, since he left no pictorial evidence of himself and the statue wasn't erected until 1885, but he looks like this now. Such is the tyranny of Art." -Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin “Art is who we are. It facilitates self-realization in everyone.” -Philippe Benichou "Artists are constantly walking a tight rope between being shitty and being the shit." -An artist “Art is our memory of love. The most an artist can do through their work is say, let me show you what I have seen, what I have loved, and perhaps you will see it and love it too.” -Annie Bevan “We are rapidly approaching the point where everything is art and, therefore, nothing is art.” -Margo Buccini “Art is the triumph over chaos.” -John Cheever "Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, it empties today of its strength." -Emerson "Art is a lie which makes us see the truth." -Picasso “A place is an area within an environment that has been altered in such a way to make the general environment more conspicuous.” -Carl Andre- “There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.” -Denis Waitley "Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier." -Mother Teresa "Color directly influences the soul. Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another purposefully, to cause vibrations in the soul." -Vasily Kandinsky |
