Art Quotes
“Medicine is not only a science it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before they may be guided.”
“A saboteur in the house of art and a comedienne in the house of art theory, Lawler has spent three decades documenting the secret life of art.

-- Jerry Saltz
“I'm enamored with the art world. Anytime you look at anything that's considered artistic, there's a commercial world around it: the ballet, opera, any kind of music. It can't exist without it.”
-- Steve Martin
