Art Quotes
“Much good art got made while money ruled I like a lot of it, and hardship and poverty aren't virtues. The good news is that, since almost no one will be selling art, artists - especially emerging ones - won't have to think about turning out a consistent style or creating a brand. They'll be able to experiment as much as they want.”
“The giant white cube is now impeding rather than enhancing the rhythms of art. It preprograms a viewer's journey, shifts the emphasis from process to product, and lacks individuality and openness. It's not that art should be seen only in rutty bombed-out environments, but it should seem alive.”
-- Jerry Saltz
“Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.”
-- Joseph Conrad
“Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.”
-- Nathaniel Hawthorne
“Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?”
-- Ludwig van Beethoven

-- Jeff Bridges
