Still to this day, I am deeply satisfied when watching a guitar player who is connected with their art and instrument. GuitarTV helps you tap into that connection, and to each other. – Steve Vai
Every work of art is the child of its age and, in many cases, the mother of our emotions. It follows that each period of culture produces an art of its own which can never be repeated. – Wassily Kandinsky
Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication. – Simone Weil
When artists make art, they shouldn’t question whether it is permissible to do one thing or another. – Sol LeWitt
When God created you, He went to great lengths to make you exactly the way He wanted you to be. You are His ultimate work of art. – Victoria Osteen
The fact is popular art dates. It grows quaint. How many people feel strongly about Gilbert and Sullivan today compared to those who felt strongly in 1890? – Stephen Sondheim
The ‘low’ quality of many American films, and of much American popular culture, induces many art lovers to support cultural protectionism. Few people wish to see the cultural diversity of the world disappear under a wave of American market dominance. – Tyler Cowen
The birch-bark canoe of the savage seems to me one of the most beautiful and perfect things of the kind constructed by human art. – William Cullen Bryant
What crushed my soul was hanging out with bitter, desperate comics backstage. They’re a different breed than the bitter yet eager psyches in the wings of an improv theatre. Struggling stand-ups have externalized self-loathing into an art form. They’re a hunching, quaking, unshaven lot. – Scott Adsit
Art shows and the institutions end up being the couriers for culture for the next generation and are an important component as well. It may seem ironic from one perspective, but I think if you look at my overall strategy, it’s actually not out of step. – Shepard Fairey
I was very much into buying contemporary art, but I’ve just decided I want to get rid of it all. Not that it’s not great art, but all of a sudden my mood has changed, and I want to go back to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century masters. – Sylvester Stallone
Here’s what I just realized: A world in which sport at its best is not seen as some kind of art is a world that doesn’t deserve any art. – Tom Bissell
I was a very violent kid. I think movies and writing and art have been a way of channeling this. – Xavier Dolan
What is the art world? I never really understood. I started doing this stuff to do what I want to do. Not to be this or that. – Urs Fischer
We shall seek first to tell the truth rather than to study the subtle art of adjusting it to the circumstances of time and person. – Vincent McNabb
In my home country, there was a little shop with old books, but it was really in the countryside. You couldn’t find English books. I found this very avant-garde American art book that had information about Georgia O’Keeffe. I was very much impressed by her. – Yayoi Kusama
Mild autism can give you a genius like Einstein. If you have severe autism, you could remain nonverbal. You don’t want people to be on the severe end of the spectrum. But if you got rid of all the autism genetics, you wouldn’t have science or art. All you would have is a bunch of social ‘yak yaks.’ – Temple Grandin
I don’t know if it’s a movement, but the only thing new that’s happening is that I think music and art and video and fashion are all kind of thrown into one big ball that’s on television, and people see that all the time – you see a fusion of all those things. – Stephen Sprouse
Film is really the one art form that can effectively use silence. Music and theater can play with silence, but they can’t sustain silence without losing energy, whereas film can go into a silent mode and stay there for minutes at a time. – Walter Murch
My art originates from hallucinations only I can see. I translate the hallucinations and obsessional images that plague me into sculptures and paintings. – Yayoi Kusama
You should carefully study the Art of Reasoning, as it is what most people are very deficient in, and I know few things more disagreeable than to argue, or even converse with a man who has no idea of inductive and deductive philosophy. – William John Wills
Comedy is a live art, and the only way to record a comedy rock album is to do it live. The audience and their laughter is just as much a part of the album sound as our music. No retakes, no room for error. – Vir Das
I just started making Bloody Marys. I always thought they looked gross, then I tasted one. There’s an art to it, from the Tabasco to the Worcestershire. – Tara Reid
In art, S. Bridget is usually represented with her perpetual flame as a symbol, sometimes with a column of fire, said to have been seen above her head when she took the veil. – Sabine Baring-Gould
