Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.~Alfred North Whitehead (1861 - 1947), Dialogues (1954)
Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.~Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)
If you were in a burning house and there was a cat and a Rembrandt, what would you save? The cat...you would save the cat, because the cat is alive. The art is dead. It's just paint on a canvas, ink on a page. To live for art is to deny life. It's just to destroy life.~Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Cicely, 1992
I don't believe in total freedom for the artist. Left on his own, free to do anything he likes, the artist ends up doing nothing at all. If there's one thing that's dangerous for an artist, it's precisely this question of total freedom, waiting for inspiration and all the rest of it.~Federico Fellini (1920 - 1993)
