Art Quotes
“Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it 'the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.' The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of 'Artist.'”
“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
