Then what is good? The obsessive interest in human affairs, plus a certain amount of compassion and moral conviction, that first made the experience of living something that must be translated into pigment or music or bodily movement or poetry or prose or anything that’s dynamic and expressivee–that’s what’s good for you if you’re at all serious in your aims. William Saroyan wrote a great play on this theme, that purity of heart is the one success worth having. “In the time of your life–live!” That time is short and it doesn’t return again. It is slipping away while I write this and while you read it, the monosyllable of the clock is Loss, loss, loss, unless you devote your heart to its opposition. – Tennessee Williams
Why shouldn’t art be pretty? There are enough unpleasant things in the world. – Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Consider everything an experiment. – Corita Kent
A not complete unit or a new unit. The elements in the 3 parts should neither fit nor not fit together.
One would like not to be led. Avoid the idea of a puzzle which could be solved. Remove the signs of thought. It is not thought which needs showing. – Jasper Johns
Weirdism is definitely the cornerstone of many an artist’s career. – E.A. Bucchianeri
I’m going to punch words in your ear holes. – Christy Leigh Stewart
Innovation is an evolutionary process, so it’s not necessary to be radical all the time. – Marc Jacobs
Photography is essentially an act of recognition by street photographers, not an act of invention. Photographers might respond to an old man’s face, or an Arbus freak, or the way light hits a building—and then they move on. Whereas in all the other art forms, take William Blake, everything that came to that paper never existed before. It’s the idea of alchemy, of making something from nothing. – Duane Michals
An artist that makes art merely to meet a demand is a slave to what his patrons wants to see, or, hear. – Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Not marble nor the gilded monuments
Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme,
But you shall shine more bright in these contents
Than unswept stone, besmeared with sluttish time.
When wasteful war shall statues overturn
And broils roots out the work of masonry,
Nor mars his sword nor war’s quick fire shall burn
The living record of your memory.
‘Gainst death and all-oblivious enmity
Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room
Even in the eyes of all posterity
That wear this world out to the ending doom.
So, till judgement that yourself arise,
You in this, and dwell in lovers eyes. – William Shakespeare
Art does not reproduce the visible; it makes visible. – Paul Klee
