Art Quotes

“It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.”
-- Anais Nin
“Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.”
-- Theodor Adorno
“We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, at least the truth that is given to us to understand.”
-- Pablo Picasso
