Art
does not solve problems but makes us aware of their existence.
It opens
our eyes to see and our brain to imagine. |
|
Ansel
Adams |
Art
is the affirmation of life. |
|
Ansel
Adams |
The
more beauty in the mind, the more peace in the spirit.

Joseph
Albers |
Art
is not an object but an experience. |
|
Alberti |
Beauty
is a kind of harmony and concord of all the parts to form a
whole which
is constructed according to a fixed number, and a certain
relation and order,
as symmetry, the highest and most perfect law of nature. |
|
Carl
Andre |
A
man climbs a mountain because it's there. A man makes a work of
art because it isn't there. |
|
Jean
Anouilh |
Life
is very nice, but it lacks form. It's the aim of art to give it
some. |
|
Aristotle
(384-322 bce) |
The
aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things
but their inward significance. |
|
Aristotle |
Why
is it that all men who are outstanding in philosophy, poetry or
the arts are melancholic? |
|
Aristotle |
Art
not only imitates nature, but also completes its deficiencies. |
|
Richard
Avedon |
All
photographs are accurate, none of them is the truth. |
