Art
Quotes for June 23
|
A
teacher affects eternity; he can never tell
where his influence stops.
::: Hans
Hofmann :::
I don't get into "becauses." When
you come into a studio you see a number of
works. My habit is to go to the one I like
most. If you start to say "because"
you get into art jargon.

Greenberg ::: |

Art
Quotes for June 18

It is profound

Art
Quotes for June 16
|
|
I
think about my work every minute of the
day.

my own life above all, which has been very
difficult. So perhaps my painting is very
violent, but this is natural to me.

Bacon :::

Art
Quotes for June 14
|
I
have never been against new art as such; some
of it is good, much is crap, most is somewhere
in between.
::: Robert
Hughes :::
When you have the super-rich paying for an
immature Rose Period Picasso $104m (£57m),
close to the GNP of some Caribbean or African
states, something is very rotten: such gestures
do no honour to art: they debase it by making
the desire for it pathological.

Leonardo da Vinci investigated the depths
of the human body and sectioned dead corps,
so I try to section souls
::: Edvard
Munch :::
I'm not interested in provoking people, but
only in trying to be consoling. I always think
of the things I do, quite unambiguously, as
truly living vehicles.
::: Martin

present commercialisation of the art world,
at its top end, is a cultural obscenity.
::: Robert

try to be a truthful artist and I try to show
a level of courage. I enjoy that. I'm a messenger.

involved in the production. I don't have the
necessary abilities, so I go to the top people..

Art
Quotes for June 4
|

I
don't believe in an art that is not born
out of man's need to open his heart.

three strongest colors, and yellow would
be my next choice.

Art
Quotes for June 2
|
In
America the biggest is the best.
::: Roy
Lichtenstein :::
I'm interested in what would normally be considered
the worst aspects of commercial art. I think
it's the tension between what seems to be
so rigid and cliched and the fact that art
really can't be this way.
::: Roy
Lichtenstein ::: |
