Famous quotes containing the word art:

    “The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art’s audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.”
    —Henry Geldzahler (1935–1994)

    “The art of newspaper paragraphing is to stroke a platitude until it purrs like an epigram.”
    —Don Marquis (1878–1937)

    “Blow, blow, thou winter wind!
    Thou art not so unkind
    As man’s ingratitude;
    Thy tooth is not so keen
    Because thou art not seen,
    Although thy breath be rude.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
