Art
Quotes for December 19
|
Why
do you try to understand art? Do you
try to understand the song of a bird?
::: Pablo
Picasso :::
Painting is the most beautiful of all
arts. In it, all sensations are condensed;
contemplating it, everyone can create
a story at the will of his imagination
and.. with a single glance.. have his
soul invaded by the most profound recollections;
no effort of memory, everything is summed
up in one instant. A complete art which
sums up all the others and completes
them.
::: Paul
Gauguin ::: |

By
nature I am curious about life, and
this extends to my business.
::: Richard
Branson :::
I know some people think one leads a
glamorous life, but I must admit I've
never felt that myself. Even when you've
sat here in Hollywood with a swimming
pool out there, I still feel my life
is just as a working artist, actually.
::: David
Hockney ::: |

Lack
of clarity is probably more responsible
for frustration and underachievement
than any other single factor.

Tracy :::
I'm not looking for images, They
just appear and take on an interest.
Sometimes you look at a thing and it
has no interest and then you see it
in a different way and it has another
meaning. Or something that was of no
use will become useful.
::: Jasper
Johns ::: |

very young that you've nothing to lose.
Later on things become a burden, I think
your past work sometimes becomes a burden.

God or someone else give me the strength

always motivated by pictorial reasoning:
that is to say, a fourth dimension.
