Florence and art is something that is part of my life and is part of myself.

I was not interested in irony; I wanted to emphasize the primacy of the idea in making art.
Modernity is the transitory, the fugitive, the contingent, which make up one half of art, the other being the eternal and the immutable. This transitory fugitive element, which is constantly changing, must not be despised or neglected.
I don't make a division between an art film and commercial art.
The 'low' quality of many American films, and of much American popular culture, induces many art lovers to support cultural protectionism. Few people wish to see the cultural diversity of the world disappear under a wave of American market dominance.
No one's conception of art is going to be acceptable to everybody.
We're all entitled to opinions about how art institutions should behave, and entitled to voicing those opinions through whatever means available to us. We're also allowed to change or modify our opinions.
Of all lies, art is the least untrue.
When I think of art I think of beauty. Beauty is the mystery of life. It is not in the eye it is in the mind. In our minds there is awareness of perfection.
I realize that I live in the same environment that I did when I was a kid, but with less junk and better art.
I would be willing to do almost anything to make Art happy. I care about our friendship. The only thing I won't do is change the essence of my work.
The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.
You may tell a man thou art a fiend, but not your nose wants blowing; to him alone who can bear a thing of that kind, you may tell all.
When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.
I grew up reading Updike. I remember being alarmed to find that he had published short stories by the time he was 22. I think 'Pigeon Feathers' was the first collection of stories I read. Only much later did I discover his non-fiction reviewing and art criticism.

In art, theories are as useful as a doctor's prescription; one must be sick to believe them.

We have to put aside the customary historical reading of works of art in order to invite art to respond to certain quite specific pains and dilemmas of our psyches.
The art music of the West has developed through out its history by means of individual geniuses, and out of the soil supporting them; non-Western musicians were born, and grew like the grasses of the field.
Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.
I've come to believe in the primacy of form - the notion of art seducing you through your senses, through your eyeballs.
Thought is more important than art. To revere art and have no understanding of the process that forces it into existence, is finally not even to understand what art is.
