Famous quotes containing the word art:
“What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“If I were of the trade, I should naturalize art as much as they “artialize” nature.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“A more problematic example is the parallel between the increasingly abstract and insubstantial picture of the physical universe which modern physics has given us and the popularity of abstract and non-representational forms of art and poetry. In each case the representation of reality is increasingly removed from the picture which is immediately presented to us by our senses.”
—Harvey Brooks (b. 1915)
