Quotes of the Week - May 8, 2012:
"I wasn't supportive of his partying or his relationship with another
girl." -- Dita Von Teese, burlesque artist, on why her marriage
to rock star, Marilyn Manson, ended.
"I love British men's sense of humor and the sense of chivalry
and charm. It is something that is innately part of the culture. It's
not the same in America." --Cameron Diaz, actress.
"I counted that there were six girls in total. That does not seem
to me to be a considerable number. Numerous young women with whom I've
had sexual exchanges had the same age difference. Swinging sexual parties
are about having free and consentual sex." -- Dominique Strauss-Kahn,
former IMF chief, denying that young women only had sex with him for
money.

Impressionism is the newspaper of the soul.
Henri Matisse
In a very ugly and sensible age, the arts borrow, not from life,
but from each other.
Oscar Wilde
The Decay of Living.
In art, all who have done something other than their predecessors
have merited the epithet of revolutionary; and it is they alone
who are masters.
Paul Gauguin
In our life there is a single color, as on an artist`s palette,
which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color
of love.
Marc Chagall
In painting you must give the idea of the true by means of the
false.
Edgar Degas
In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.
Andy Warhol
In the upper and the lower churches of St. Francis, Giotto and
Cimabue showed that art had once worshipped something other
than itself.
Aldous Huxley
Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?
Andy Warhol
It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchangeable
color to every object; beware of this stumbling block.
Paul Gauguin
It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.

It is through Art, and through Art only, that we can realise
our perfection; through Art, and through Art only, that we can
shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual experience.
Oscar Wilde
The Critic as Artist.
It is well with me when only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
It requires a certain kind of mind to see beauty in a hamburger
bun. Yet, is it any more unusual to find grace in the texture
and softly curved silhouette of a bun than to reflect lovingly
on . . . the arrangement of textures and colors in a butterfly's
wing?
Ray Kroc
Let it be enough for you to have bread and live virtuously and
poorly like Christ, as I do here. I live meanly and don't bother
about life or honor... and I live with the greatest toil and
a thousand worries. It is now about 15 years since I had a happy
hour.
Michelangelo
From a letter to his father, October 1512
as he finishes the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life.

The Decay of Lying.
Life is very nice, but it has no shape. The object of Art is
actually to give it some and to do it by every artifice possible,
truer than the truth.

Replying to the question: For two days'
labor, you ask two hundred guineas?
No, painting is not made to decorate apartments. It's an offensive
and defensive weapon against the enemy.
Pablo Picasso
Nothing is really so poor and melancholy as art that is interested
in itself and not in its subject.
George Santayana
Nothing so resembles a daub as a masterpiece.
Paul Gauguin
Now I as a painter shall never amount to anything important,
I am absolutely sure of it.
Vincent Van Gogh
One puts into one's art what one has not been capable of putting
into one's existence. It is because he was unhappy that God
created the world.
Henri de Montherlant
One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.

the Young.

another person sees.

do good things.

Pablo Picasso
Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry
is painting that is felt rather than seen.

Picasso will be seventy-two and I am about forty-eight. Picasso
is known in every country of the world; so am I. Picasso is
a Communist. I am not.
Salvador Dali
Public art is art that the public can't avoid.
George Wyllie
Sadistic excess attempts to reach roughly and by harshness what
art reaches by fineness.
Percy Wynham Lewis
Science and art belong to the whole world, and before them vanish
the barriers of nationality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
She is like most artists; she is all style without any sincerity.
Oscar Wilde
The Nightingale and the Rose.
Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many
useful objects suck as wickerwork picnic baskets. Imagination
without skill gives us modern art.
Tom Stoppard
Artist Descending a Staircase.
Supreme art is a traditional statement of certain heroic and
religious truth, passed on from age to age, modified by individual
genius, but never abandoned.
William Butler Yeats
The aim of art is not to represent the outward appearance of
things, but their inward significance.
Aristotle
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life,
by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years
later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it
is life.

he should never be seen.
Gustave Flaubert

before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed
by the fire of his own creation.
Auguste Rodin
The artist, like the God of creation, remains within or behind
or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of
existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.
James Joyce
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.
The artistic temperament is a disease that afflicts amateurs.
G. K. Chesterton
The arts are an even better barometer of what is happening in
our world than the stock market or the debates in congress.
Hendrik Willem Van Loon
The beautiful doesn't matter to me.
Pablo Picasso
The best artist has that thought alone
Which is contained within the marble shell;
The sculptor's hand can only break the spell
To free the figures slumbering in the stone.
Michelangelo |
