There are situations which cannot honorably be met by art.
TV, film, and theater are considered art, and art is a reflection of life. What happens in life includes violence, unfortunately.
The man of genius is he and he alone who finds such joy in his art that he will work at it come hell or high water.
Zen, per se, is not just an art, it's not just a religion, it's a realisation.
Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity, the dread of doing what has been done before.
I think when an actress marries she should leave the stage. She cannot be happy if she is married and remains on the stage. She must care more for her art or for her husband.
The mission of art is to represent nature not to imitate her.
All the best parts of art come from pain turned to celebration.
The construction of Europe is an art. It is the art of the possible.
Fred Astaire is my hero. I love him because he was willing to kill himself to make his art look effortless. And because he proved it's possible to be an artist and a good person.
I don't want money to ever drive my career. I want my career to be driven by what I want to do in art.
My failure, during the first five or six years of my art training, to get set in the right direction, and the disappointment which it caused me, drove me the more persistently into writing as an alternative.
I view art as an inspirational tool.
I love what Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh and Jesus all said - that love is really the driving principle of the creative act. In fact, they would say that great art is always inspired by love.
The smart thing in the art world is to have one good idea and never have another.
Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.
I have to say, Alejandro Colucci is amazing. I had seen his work several times before I started making the connection between the art and the person making it, and when I heard that he was going to work on the cover for 'Seven Forges,' that connection was not yet cemented.
The type of work I do, which is often called 'Pop Surrealism,' is very separate from Gagosian and Mary Boone type of gallery art.
The real art of conducting consists in transitions.
When demagogues and dictators ban art, this is the reason: art is the great solvent of obedient fundamentalism.
Art includes everything that stimulates the desire to live.

I've been fortunate to work with partners like Weinstein and John and Art Linson in developing 'Yellowstone' and am grateful that it has found a home in the Paramount Network. The show is both timely and timeless.
Art is man's constant effort to create for himself a different order of reality from that which is given to him.
My parents were very, very good about not separating us as kids from their adult friends. So on any given night, we'd have, like, this kind of freak show - artists and art dealers coming over. And these are the people I feel like I learned from.
I think if you want to make a performance authentic, there are a certain amount of leaps of faith into the unknown that you have to take. Otherwise, you're not really risking anything. I think if you don't risk something in art, it's not really important.
I am drawn to humorous art that is ironic.
Also, since art is a vehicle for the transmission of ideas through form, the reproduction of the form only reinforces the concept. It is the idea that is being reproduced. Anyone who understands the work of art owns it. We all own the Mona Lisa.
I'm just gonna make art myself. I have a lot of ideas of things I wanna do and really talented people and friends I'm around, so we decided to make our own thing and set out to do it.
The beauty of compounding iterative algorithms - evolution, fractals, organic growth, art - derives from their irreducibility.
I don't think I am that materialistic, actually. Obviously at home in the country the art collection is important, but we have one big room in the middle of the house where we do everything - the television, the kitchen, everything.
Even Michelangelo got paid for doing the Sistine Chapel. To those artists who say they're doing it for the love of art, I say: Get real.
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
First of all, what in this world does not revolve around money? But money is a big part of film, unlike a lot of other art forms.
As in nature, as in art, so in grace; it is rough treatment that gives souls, as well as stones, their luster.
We want a vernacular in art. No mere verbal or formal agreement, or dead level of uniformity but that comprehensive and harmonizing unity with individual variety which can be developed among people politically and socially free.
