church as the emblematic focus of the
American city.

like belief in the reformatory power
of flogging.

Art
Quotes for March 15
|
If
I were to think of and dwell on disastrous
possibilities, I could do nothing. I
throw myself headlong into my work,
and come up again with my studies; if
the storm within gets too loud, I take
a glass too much to stun myself.
::: Vincent
van Gogh :::
There are some people who don't like
museums because they think of them as
tombs, or something negative. I've always
loved them. They are to me lighthouses
of utopianism and social well-being.
::: R.B.
Kitaj ::: |

automatically corrupts the wells of
imagination is a pious fiction, believed
by some utopian lefties and a few people
of genius such as (William) Blake but
flatly contradicted by history itself.
::: Robert
Hughes ::: |

An
illustrational form tells you through
the intelligence immediately what the
form is about, whereas a non-illustrational
form works first upon sensation and
then slowly leaks back into the fact.
::: Francis
Bacon :::
My biggest motivation? Just to keep
challenging myself. I see life almost
like one long University education that
I never had - every day I'm learning
something new.
::: Richard
Branson ::: |

Art
Quotes for March 8

Eighty
percent of success is showing up.

Allen :::
Will God or someone else give me
the strength to breathe the breath of
prayer and mourning into my paintings,
the breath of prayer for redemption
and resurrection?.
::: Marc
Chagall ::: |

Art
Quotes for March 5

is truly flesh! You would think it moulded

warm.

Rodin ::: (talking about
an antique marble copy of the Venus
de' Medici)
Uh, gee, great.
::: Andy
Warhol ::: |

Art
Quotes for March 3
|
There
are not only more people collecting,
there are more people collecting for
the wrong reasons, basically as the
latest get rich quick scheme. They buy
art like lottery tickets.
::: Mary
Boone - the 1980s :::
People were more interested in the phenomena
than the art itself. This, combined
with the growing interest in collecting
art as an investment and the resultant
boom in the art market, made it a difficult
time for a young artist to remain sincere
without becoming cynical.
::: Keith
Haring - the 1980s ::: |
