Quotes About Art

Todo arte se caracteriza por un cierto modo de organización alrededor de ese vacío

Escutemos bem Marc Bloch. Ele não diz: a história é uma arte, a história é literatura. Frisa: a história é uma ciência, mas uma ciência que tem como uma de suas características, o que pode significar sua fraqueza mas também sua virtude, ser poética, pois não pode ser reduzida a abstrações, a leis, a estruturas.

Since art is a virtue of the intellect, it demands to communicate with the entire universe of the intellect. Hence it is that the normal climate of art is intelligence and knowledge: its normal soil, the civilized heritage of a consistent and integrated system of beliefs and values; its normal horizon , the infinity of human experience enlighted by the passionate insight of anguish or the intellectual virtues of a contemplative mind.

The definition of Christian art is to be found in its subject and its spirit. Everything, sacred and profane, belongs to it. God does not ask for "religious" art or "Catholic" art. The art he wants for himself is Art, with all its teeth.

o?istený prame? pramení z hlbín ?udskej substancie.. nie je však plný kalu. je to dielo.. predovšetkým pretrvávajúcej lásky.. a umenie o?istenej duše si používa všetko, aj blato, na slávu diela, ?istými rukami a bez za?úbenia v kale.

?o sa potom stane, ak na druhej strane - a teraz z h?adiska ?udského dobra - mravné svedomie umelca za predpokladu, že ho má, prehlási, že nie?o v diele, ?o je umelecky dobré a nutné, pokým môže súdi?, je mravne zlé a musí sa teda zmeni?? ..potom sa umelec musí snaži?, aby o?istil svoj prame?. nie je to pohodlné a je na to treba ve?kú trpezlivos?. iné reálne riešenie neexistuje.

v tomto zmysle práve tak ako "umenie pre umenie" neuznáva prosto a jednoducho svet mravnosti a hodnoty ?udského života a to, že umelec je ?LOVEK, tak ani heslo "umenie pre ?udí" neuznáva prosto a jednoducho svet umenia samotného a hodnoty tvorivého intelektu a to, že umelec je UMELCOM.

umenie... myslí len na svoju slávu. nech je maliar zatratený, maliarstvo na to nedbá, ak sa na ohni, v ktorom maliar horí, upe?ie krásne chrámové okno

maliar.. je tiež ?lovekom, a to skôr, ako je maliarom

ja" sa prejavuje a zárove? obetuje, pretože je dávané, tiahnuté mimo seba v onej extáze, ktorou je tvorba, zomiera samé sebe, aby žilo v diele, vo ve?kej pokore, vydáva sa bez obrany!

Critical art is an art that aims to produce a new perception of the world, and therefore to create a commitment to its transformation.

On suppose que l'art nous rend révoltés en nous montrant des choses révoltantes, qu'il nous mobilise par le fait de se mouvoir hors de l'atelier ou du musée et qu'il nous transforme en opposants au système dominant en se niant lui- même comme élément de ce système.

Envoi Tombe d'un rêve de novembre J'ai mis ce pouème à l'eau de Seine Du mieux que j'ai pu, en lumière. (in Queneau en novembre)

You know, a carving, especially if it's polychrome, is not meant to move. These faces, these half-bodies, when you animate them, they're more live than the living. They can be dangerous for those who don't really understand them. With contained energy, no one can predict what will happen when it's released.

le gustaba hacerlo despacio, tranquilo, consciente de que la velocidad correcta y el ritmo apropiado eran elementos cruciales para el arte y la felicidad:

The lips on my upper right bicep are my girlfriend's lips. She has the most amazing lips, and I wanted to carry them around with me everywhere I go, considering I can't carry her lips physically with me. So I decided to place them in a discreet location, such as the inside part of my bicep.

In a way, a garden is the most useless of creations, the most slippery of creations: it is not like a painting or a piece of sculpture—it won't accrue value as time goes on. Time is its enemy' time passing is merely the countdown for the parting between garden and gardener.
