Famous quotes containing the words fine art, fine and/or art:
“Fine art is the subtlest, the most seductive, the most effective instrument of moral propaganda in the world, excepting only the example of personal conduct; and I waive even this exception in favor of the art of the stage, because it works by exhibiting examples of personal conduct made intelligible and moving to crowds of unobservant unreflecting people to whom real life means nothing.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“It is painful to be told that anything is very fine and not be able to feel that it is fine—something like being blind, while people talk of the sky.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Great art is the contempt of a great man for small art.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
