Art
Quotes for April 30
|
Art
is never chaste. It ought to be forbidden
to ignorant innocents, never allowed
into contact with those not sufficiently
prepared. Yes, art is dangerous. Where
it is chaste, it is not art..
::: Pablo
Picasso :::
Art is not the application of a canon
of beauty but what the instinct and
the brain can conceive beyond any canon.
When we love a woman we don’t start
measuring her limbs..
::: Pablo
Picasso ::: |

Art
Quotes for April 21
|
|
Red
is one of the strongest colors, it's
blood, it has a power with the eye.
That's why traffic lights are red
I guess, and stop signs as well...
In fact I use red in all of my paintings..
::: Keith
Haring :::
I think you have to control the materials
to an extent, but it's important to
let the materials have a kind of power
for themselves; like the natural power
of gravity, if you are painting on
a wall, it makes the paint trickle
and it drips; there is no reason to
fight that..
::: Keith
Haring :::

Art
Quotes for April 16
|
This
is a world of action, and not for moping
and droning in..
::: Charles
Dickens :::
There are some images that I will only
use once, and not use again because
they don't seem to really hit the nail
right on the head, but there are some
which are so strong they have to be
reduced; sometimes just reusing them
makes them stronger..
::: Keith
Haring ::: |

Quotes for April 14

Everyone

to have it at 50..
::: Edgar
Degas :::
Practise what you know, and it will
help to make clear what now you do
not know..
::: Rembrandt

Art
Quotes for April 12
|
I
don't think art is propaganda; it should
be something that liberates the soul,
provokes the imagination and encourages
people to go further. It celebrates
humanity instead of manipulating it..
::: Keith
Haring :::
I have a hatred of habit and routine.
And what dogs love is just that. They
like regular everything, and I don't
have regular anything. I have a timetable,
but no routine..
::: Lucien
Freud ::: |

Art
Quotes for April 9
|
An
artist chooses his subjects: that is
the way he praises..
::: Friedrich
Nietzsche :::
An artist is an artist only because
of his exquisite sense of beauty, a
sense which shows him intoxicating pleasures,
but which at the same time implies and
contains an equally exquisite sense
of all deformities and all disproportions..
::: Charles
Baudelaire ::: |

Art
Quotes for April 7
|
The
attitude that nature is chaotic and
that the artist puts order into it is
a very absurd point of view, I think.
All that we can hope for is to put some
order into ourselves..
::: Willem
de Kooning :::
Whatever an artist’s personal feelings
are, as soon as an artist fills a certain
area on the canvas or circumscribes
it, he becomes historical. He acts from
or upon other artists..
::: Willem
de Kooning ::: |

Art
Quotes for April 5
|
Why
not seize the pleasure at once? How
often is happiness destroyed by preparation,
foolish preparation?..
::: Jane
Austen :::
Our doubts are traitors, and make
us lose the good we oft might win, by
fearing to attempt..
::: William
Shakespeare ::: |

Art
Quotes for April 2
|
Art
prices are determined by the meeting
of real or induced scarcity with pure,
irrational desire, and nothing is more
manipulable than desire..
::: Robert
Hughes :::
This is the nature of genius, to be
able to grasp the knowable even when
noone else recognizes that it is present..
::: Deepak
Chopra ::: |
