Famous quotes containing the word art:

    “The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.”
    —Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)

    “We’re made so that we love
    First when we see them painted, things we have passed
    Perhaps a hundred times nor cared to see;
    And so they are better, painted—better to us,
    Which is the same thing. Art was given for that;
    God uses us to help each other so,”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “The finest works of art are those in which there is the least matter. The closer expression comes to thought, the more the word clings to the idea and disappears, the more beautiful the work of art.”
    —Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
