Famous quotes containing the word art:

    “Just as all thought, and primarily that of non-signification, signifies something, so there is no art that has no signification.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “One line typed twenty years ago
    can be blazed on a wall in spraypaint
    to glorify art as detachment
    or torture of those we
    did not love but also
    did not want to kill.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “Neither a work of nature nor one of art we get to know when they have been finished; we must surprise them in the process of being created so as to understand them to some degree.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
