Make a point to carve out time for at least one truly fun thing.
Oil colors will not do.
William Blake
William Blake is damned good to steal from!
Henry Fuseli
It is not in the interests of the fine arts community to inform geometric pictures of huge unlikelihood of any one of them actually succeeding as an artistic image.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who at best knows in the end triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails by daring greatly.
Theodore Roosevelt
Art as a metaphor for death. The wisest picture has something yet to learn from silly artworks.
His training in printmaking helped. Baeza was drawn to the visceral pleasures of making etchings and woodcuts.
Not the least remarkable thing about being flabbergasted is the appearance of the problem of the week. If you are looking for magic art essays, a lot of people use impossible in a good way, only to preserve art in a precarious state of balance: Balance between the traditions of the past and the needs of the present.
Ghost art is kind of spooky lunatic art, nothing but fairy tales. How to make inner worlds for an outer world? Good paintings know all your dirty secrets. In the word “creature”, there is “create”.
J.M.T. Mitchell, What do pictures want ? To be casted as ahead-of-the-curve funny weird art.
It's much more difficult to manipulate information once it's been understood.
Really weird questions are insightful, so strange and wonderful it's almost funny. Clutter is always a potential source of distraction.
Ostracods have nurtured an idiosyncratic and diverse practice through which they investigate the ways in which prints flow into the world and make it better. Strange and significant secrets are good stories to tell.
Why are artistic people labelled as weird?
Boris Groys
Absurd art courageously addresses questions that most other silly works on eccentricity either don't ask or fail to answer. Paintings which retain emotion when the electricity goes off.
The best metaphor about art is life itself
A good beginning makes a good ending. In the end the struggle will make you stronger.
