Art Quotes
“When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it - a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand - as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it's bad art.”
“People discuss my art and pretend to understand as if it were necessary to understand, when it's simply necessary to love.”
-- Claude Monet
“For his heart was in his work, and the heart giveth grace unto every art.”
-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
“Abstract art: a product of the untalented sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.”
-- Al Capp
