I
wished to go completely outside and to make a symbolic start
for my enterprise of regenerating the life of humankind within
the body of society and to prepare a positive future in this
context.
Joseph Beuys
Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls
and persuade themselves that they have a better idea -
John Anthony Ciardi
As
far as I am concerned, a painting speaks for itself. What is
the use of giving explanations, when all is said and done? A
painter has only one language
Pablo Picasso
Quote of the week...
Dame Vivienne Westwood
“It would be really good if people learnt to draw properly because then we’d get some art,” the fashion designer tells Mandrake. “They’re all useless —there aren’t any artists.”
Dame Vivienne, 70, adds: “There’s no such thing as skills now, even in supposedly fine art, they just send stuff to people, they don’t actually do it.”
Much of modern art is devoted to lowering the threshold of what is terrible. By getting us used to what, formerly, we could not bear to see or hear, because it was too shocking, painful, or embarrassing, art changes morals. Susan Sontag
Admiration for a quality or an art can be so strong that it deters us from striving to possess it.
