Copy Quote Text

A painter is a choreographer of space.

Barnett Newman Artist

Painting, like passion, is a living voice.

Barnett Newman Artist

Aesthetics is to artists as ornithology is to birds.

Barnett Newman Artist

I prefer to leave the paintings to speak for themselves.

Barnett Newman Artist

The first essential to success in the art you practice is respect for the art itself.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton Novelist

Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.

Marcus Tullius Cicero Philosopher

All art requires courage.

Anne Wilkes Tucker Museum Curator

I dance not to entertain but to help people better understand each other. Because through dance I have experienced the wordless joy of freedom, I seek it more fully now for my people and for all people everywhere.

Pearl Primus

I paint digitally now. A pity, in some ways, as the biggest price one pays is that you no longer have a finished piece of physical art to hang on a wall. I miss that terribly.

Berkeley Breathed Cartoonist

Art is the heart's explosion on the world. Music. Dance. Poetry. Art on cars, on walls, on our skins. There is probably no more powerful force for change in this uncertain and crisis-ridden world than young people and their art. It is the consciousness of the world breaking away from the strangle grip of an archaic social order.

Luis J. Rodriguez Poet
