Famous quotes containing the word artists:
“Immature artists imitate. Mature artists steal.”
—Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
“When ... did the word “temperament” come into fashion with us?... whatever it stands for, it long since became a great social asset for women, and a great social excuse for men. Perhaps it came in when we discovered that artists were human beings.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“The upshot was, my paintings must burn
that English artists might finally learn.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
