- SAMO
as an alternative 2 playing art
with the 'radical chic' sect on Daddy's $
funds.
Jean
Michel Basquiat Quotes - Artists
- To
me, money
is a means to do good. I reached a point in
my
life where I had enjoyed
tremendous
business
success
that afforded my family everything we could
possibly want. My wife and I then decided that
we could use our wealth
to make a difference. So we created the Broad
Foundations (www)
to do four things: to improve urban public education,
to support innovative scientific and medical
research, to foster art
appreciation for audiences worldwide and to
support civic initiatives in Los Angeles.
Eli
Broad Quotes - philanthropy
- Art
Collectors
- Great
art
picks up where nature
ends.
Marc
Chagall Quotes - Artists
- I
strive to give to others a sense of sacredness,
because an art
event is not just a formal fact but also a moment
where you put a mark on your dedication. You
must have a feeling
of joining a tribe where there is the stick
of command, because you are in a sacred place
with its rules.
Enzo
Cucchi Quotes - Artists
- The
desire to survive
and the fear
of death
are artistic
sentiments.
Salvador
Dali Quotes - Artists
- If
I make a painting,
it should be seen for what it's set out to do
too. A lot of the things that I do, it's not
all art.
Some of it's design,
some of it's illustration,
some of it's graphics, some of it's concept,
some of it's business
and some of it, hopefully,
is art.
Ken
Done Quotes - Artists
- There
is no art
without intoxication. But I mean a mad
intoxication! Let reason
teeter! Delirium! The highest
degree of delirium! Plunged in burning dementia!
Art is the most enrapturing orgy within man's
reach.. Art must make you laugh a little and
make you a little
afraid. Anything as long as it doesn't bore.
Jean
Dubuffet Quotes - Artists
- The
most
beautiful thing we can experience
is the mysterious.
It is the source of all art
and science. He to whom this emotion
is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder
and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead..
his eyes are closed.
Albert
Einstein Quotes - Motivational
- True
art
takes note not merely of form but also of what
lies behind.
Mahatma
Gandhi Quotes - Motivational
- A
life
of sacrifice
is the pinnacle of art,
and is full of true
joy.
Mahatma
Gandhi Quotes - Motivational
- I
think art
is good at looking back and looking forward.
I don't think art is good at looking head-on.
At the end of the day, people are more important
than paintings.
Damien
Hirst Quotes - British
Artists
- One
of the weaknesses
of much abstract
painting
is the attempt to substitute the inventions
of the intellect
for a pristine imaginative
conception. The inner
life of a human being is a vast and varied
realm and does not concern itself alone with
stimulating arrangements of color,
form
and design.
The term 'life'
as used in art
is something not to be held in contempt, for
it applies all of its existence, and the province
of art is to react to it and not to shun it.
Painting will have to deal more fully and less
obliquely with life and nature's
phenomena before it can again be great.
Edward
Hopper Quotes - Artists
- Our
galleries
are soft (Thomas Kinkade galleries). You don't
echo when you walk in. It's comfortable. There's
a fireplace burning. There's a person sitting
here who's not an art
expert. We don't hire art experts. We hire people
who love art and love people. And when you
walk in, you're greeted, and the experience
is entirely different.
Thomas
Kinkade Quotes - Artists
- Entertainment
and art
are not isolated. Entertainment is in art like
color
in pictures.
Martin
Kippenberger Quotes - Artists
- Truth
and reality
in art
do not arise until you no longer understand
what you are doing and are capable of but nevertheless
sense a power
that grows
in proportion to your resistance.
Henri
Matisse Quotes - Artists
- Art
washes away from the soul
the dust of everyday life.
Pablo
Picasso Quotes - Spanish
Artists
- Art
is the elimination of the unnecessary.
Pablo
Picasso Quotes - Spanish
Artists
- There
are painters
who transform the sun into a yellow
spot, but there are others who, thanks to their
art
and intelligence,
transform a yellow spot into the sun.
Pablo
Picasso Quotes - color
- nature
- amazing
- Spanish
Artists
- 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 Quotes - meaning
- Spanish
Artists
- 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 Quotes - meaning
- Spanish
Artists
- There
were only five galleries
in those days, and the artists really depended
on each other socially,
psychologically,
and even critically.
Its impossible now. Business
sure screwed
up the art
world universally.
Robert
Rauschenberg Quotes - Artists
- I
don't think there's anything really wrong with
influence
because I think that one can use another man's
art as material
either literally or just implying that they're
doing that, without it representing a lack of
a point of view.
Robert
Rauschenberg Quotes - Artists
- Art
is contemplation.
It is the pleasure
of the mind which searches into nature and which
there divines
the spirit
of which Nature
herself is animated.
Auguste
Rodin Quotes - Artists
- Sculptors
- Deals
are my
art
form. Other people paint
beautifully
on canvas or write wonderful poetry. I like
making deals, preferably big deals. That's how
I get my kicks.
Donald
Trump Quotes - my
art - Business
People
- Picasso
obviously viewed his art
as a business,
which it was. I view my business as an art,
which it is. You should view your work
that way too.
Donald
Trump Quotes - encouragement
- comments
- Business
People
- When
people see the beautiful
marble in Trump Tower, they usually have no
idea what I went through personally to achieve
the end result. No one cares about the blood,
sweat, and tears that art
or beauty require. Its the end result
that matters.
Donald
Trump Quotes - Business
People
- I
tell you, the more I
think, the more I feel
that there is nothing more truly
artistic
than to love
people.
Vincent
van Gogh Quotes - Artists
- My
opinion
is that the best thing would be to work
on till art
lovers
feel
drawn toward it of their own accord, instead
of having to praise or to explain it.
Vincent
van Gogh Quotes - Artists
- Making
money is art
and working
is art and good
business is the best
art.
Andy
Warhol Quotes - Artists
- Business
art
is the step that comes after Art. I started
as a commercial
artist,
and I want to finish as a business artist.
Andy
Warhol Quotes - Artists
- Art
should astonish, transmute, transfix. One must
work
at the tissue between truth
and paranoia.
Brett
Whiteley Quotes - Artists
- Art
is the thrilling spark that beats death
- thats all.
