Art
Quotes for February 27
|
I
have simply wished to assert the reasoned
and independent feeling of my own individuality
within a total knowledge of tradition.
::: Henri
Matisse :::
My heart beats more for a raw, average
vulgar art, which doesn't live between
sleepy fairy-tale moods and poetry but
rather concedes a direct entrance to
the fearful, commonplace, splendid and
the average grotesque banality in life.
::: Max
Beckman ::: |

Art
Quotes for February 25

I
wished to suggest by means of a simple
nude, a certain long-lost barbaric luxury.
::: Paul
Gauguin :::
I am not strictly speaking mad, for
my mind is absolutely normal in the
intervals, and even more so than before.
But during the attacks it is terrible
- and then I lose consciousness of everything.
But that spurs me on to work and to
seriousness, as a miner who is always
in danger makes haste in what he does.
::: Vincent
van Gogh ::: |

about, the more wrong it gets.

Warhol :::
I really do live for the future, because
when I'm eating a box of candy, I can't
wait to taste the last piece.

Art
Quotes for February 13
|
Learning
is an active process. We learn by doing..
::: Dale
Carnegie :::
Color is crucial in painting, but it
is very hard to talk about. There is
almost nothing you can say that holds
up as a generalization, because it depends
on too many factors: size, modulation,
the rest of the field, a certain consistency
that color has with forms, and the statement
you're trying to make..
::: Roy
Lichtenstein ::: |

Business art is the step that comes
after Art. I started as a commercial
artist, and I want to finish as a business
artist..

from other people’s plates..

Art
Quotes for February 2
|
All
mankind's inner feelings eventually
manifest themselves as an outer reality..
::: Stuart
Wilde :::
You really can't bring about anything
new with art. I knew that already as
a child. One can try to change the world
for oneself, but exhibitions are, actually,
quite superflous..
::: Martin
Kippenberger ::: |
