“Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.”
-- Gilbert K. Chesterton
“In art, scandal is a false narrative, a smoke screen that camouflages rather than reveals. When we don't know what we're seeing, we overreact.”
-- Jerry Saltz
“Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.”
-- Jean Cocteau
