Famous quotes containing the word artists:

    We artists are indestructible; even in a prison, or in a concentration camp, I would be almighty in my own world of art, even if I had to paint my pictures with my wet tongue on the dusty floor of my cell.
    Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)

    Modern conquerors can kill, but do not seem to be able to create. Artists know how to create but cannot really kill. Murderers are only very exceptionally found among artists.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    The upshot was, my paintings must burn
    that English artists might finally learn.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
