An artist is someone who looks at what everyone else has seen and thinks what no one else has thought.

Art is beautiful, it reminds you that you’re really not alone.

People do not see what they are looking at, only what they are looking for.

A culture that does not offend anyone isn’t a culture at all - it’s Disneyland.

Censorship is society’s way of acknowledging the power of art.

One uses mirrors to look at one’s face and art to look at one’s soul.

Art is indifference replaced by attention.

Let me ask you something.  What is not art?

Not shop till you drop but look at paint till you faint!

Monet distills into a painting some of the magic that goes into a moment of
seeing.

Great art ennobles the simplest scene and raises it out of the dirt of the commonplace.
