Art:
Or, What I Do To Chide the Hasty-Footed Time
Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.
G. K. Chesterton
Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Albert Camus
Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
Thomas Merton
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Pablo Picasso
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
Andre Gide
Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Those are all very cool.
ReplyDeleteDarcy and Elizabeth by the piano is my new favorite, closely seconded by the second sunset one.
ReplyDeleteI love the quote about abstract art. It is nice to know that Chesterton does not like it. For some reason I always believed that I did not have enough knowledge to grasp the "beauty" of abstract art. It is good to have common sense when it comes to these things.
Lately I've noticed that true beauty and truth can be seen by anyone. In fact, the truly beautiful can be recognized by the most uneducated person in the world.
Thanks, dear Kath!
ReplyDeleteGood choices, Jess. I love those two, too! They were some of the first ones I made. :)
I agree with you exactly! That's a really good point-art isn't elite. Good thoughts.
Senioritis getting to you, huh?
