The art of using deceit and cunning grow continually weaker and less effective to the user.
We do not judge great art. It judges us.
I wound up studying art and design, got a job at Lonely Planet Publications as a designer, cartographer and illustrator.
Art is man's expression of his joy in labor.
Distributing the music is so easy it's moot. So now the delicate art of calling attention to your music means everything. Marketing is distribution.
These guys are just flying through the air and I'm capturing them in the split second and putting it into a work of art, via clay to the bronze.
Art is not an investment. Art is something you buy because you are financially solvent enough to give yourself a pleasure of living with great works rather than having to just see them in museums. People who are buying art at the top of the market as an investment are foolish.
When we can't determine what is art - when you get to that point where we're not sure, that's the greatest likelihood that we're actually experiencing something great. But I think that's what the art world is most afraid of, because you lose that security. Then we don't know how to assign evaluation, whether it's cultural or otherwise.
Art is science made clear.
This art of acting is a process I love very much. It's an unbelievably fulfilling experience for me and I look forward to building upon my art in the years to come.
I am interested in mathematics only as a creative art.
I personally don't care for abstract art. I have always felt, 'To each his own.' There's art out there for everybody.
By the time I got to Bournemouth Art College, I'd been so inspired by Sam Raimi and Robert Rodriguez and their tiny, no-budget films that I decided to do a feature-length version of 'Fistful Of Fingers.'
I was always interested in art at school, and after year twelve, senior year, I spent three years studying graphic design at college. I worked in advertising for two years but didn't like it much, then began doing a bit of illustration work for various publishers.
Conceptual art became the liberating idea that gave the art of the next 40 years its real impetus.
The act of writing surprises me all the time. A miraculous thing happens when you have an idea and you want to convert it into words... and then you start to create a work of art, and that's another miracle, and it remains mysterious to the writer, or to this writer anyway.
In just the same way the thousands of successive positions of a runner are contracted into one sole symbolic attitude, which our eye perceives, which art reproduces, and which becomes for everyone the image of a man who runs.
Conversation may be compared to a lyre with seven chords - philosophy, art, poetry, love, scandal, and the weather.
You can use your means in a good and bad way. In German-speaking art, we had such a bad experience with the Third Reich, when stories and images were used to tell lies. After the war, literature was careful not to do the same, which is why writers began to reflect on the stories they told and to make readers part of their texts. I do the same.
The art gods cooked up something special for James Ensor.
I don't like a lot of the stuff that goes on in the art world, but it's hard to be old and like what goes on around you.
The arts, as a reflection of human existence at its highest, have always and spontaneously lived up to this demand of plenitude. No mature style of art in any culture has ever been simple.
We will always need to be reminded that we are human. Art gives us that.
Acting is an art and a science and there is more to me then that young blonde kid.
The demons you have are what motivate you to make your art. This is what drives the detective, this is what drives the painter, this is what drives the writer: a conflicting urge to forget pain and at the same time remember it and fight for some kind of justice. I know these powerful things are inside of me and everyone in some way or another.
One has complexes. One has the art complex. One goes to the School of Fine Arts and catches the complexes.
Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.
I was a Fine Art major. You do a bit of everything until the final year, when you specialise. I did pencil drawing and sculpture. It's a pretty well-rounded fine art education. I thought that it was viable option to make a living out of art. I'm not sure if I was thinking realistically; maybe I never was. But it had great appeal.
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
The art of politics consists in knowing precisely when it is necessary to hit an opponent slightly below the belt.
People don't like contemporary art, but all art starts life as contemporary - I can't really see a difference.
Who would dare assign to art the sterile function of imitating nature?
I don't get why radio shows allow artists to do shows without creative control, without any art direction at all. Instead of that, I get their press guys, their camera guys to be my backdrop of my show.
Most art is fragile and some should be placed and never moved away.
Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.
The theater is the only branch of art much cared for by people of wealth; like canasta, it does away with the brother of talk after dinner.
