  Art Quotes

Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.

 What is Art?
It is enlightening to juxtapose "Fine Art" to "Modern Art" and to examine the fallacy of "The Emperor's New Clothes": The illusion of art created by so-called "art-cognoscenti", who are more interested in promoting the commercially hyped value of "Modern Art", than in the intrinsic beauty of "Fine Art".
It is elucidating that most people see beyond this sham: Museums of Modern Art are almost devoid of visitors while the typical Museum of Fine Art (often, next door) is packed with people, hungry for beauty and the esthetics that are an innate part of human nature.
Art, including music, represents the direct communication of human emotions, without the assistance of explanatory comments in the nature of writing or other artifacts.

This highly original study is an examination of the many facets of Mallarme;s relationship to the visual arts.
A new relationship is revealed between the word and the image which has significant implications for an understanding of the self and the world in these texts.
The book is particularly original in two respects: first, it shows bow developments in verbal and visual innovation are interdependent in Mallarme;s work; second, it integrates hitherto discrete traditions of the avant-garde in painting to present a new perspective on the history of modernism.

René Magritte painted a fantasy-like world in which natural elements were transformed and imaginatively combined into enigmatic compositions that prompt us to try making sense of them.
In the early 1920s, Magritte became fascinated by the work of the early twentieth-century Italian artist Giorgio de Chirico (1888—1978), whose eerie paintings consist of unlikely juxtapositions of contemporary objects and scenes with those from an historic era, rendered in a realistic style.
But in his larger aims, Magritte may be associated with the surrealists in their attempts to discover the extraordinary in the ordinary.

 ARC :: Aubrey Beardsley (1872-1898) :: Page 1 of 4
In 1892 he attended the classes at the Westminster School of Art, then under Professor Brown; and from 1893 until his death, at Mentone, on the 16th of March 1898, his work came continually before the public, arousing a storm of criticism and much hostile feeling.
His treatment of most subjects was revolutionary; he deliberately ignored proportion and perspective, and the “freedom from convention” which he displayed caused his work to be judged with harshness.
In certain phases of technique he especially excelled; and his earlier methods of dealing with the single line in conjunction with masses of fl are in their way unsurpassed, except in the art of Japan, the country which probably gave his ideas some assistance.
