Dick"The American people are basically anti-intellectual. They’re not interested in novels of ideas. And science fiction is essentially the field of ideas."- Philip K. Dick"... sane judgment abhors nothing so much as a picture perpetrated with no technical knowledge, although with plenty care and diligence. Now the sole reason why painters of this sort are not aware of their own error is that they have not learnt Geometry, without which no one can either be or become an absolute artist; but the blame for this should be laid upon their masters, who themselves are ignorant of this art." - Albrecht Durer, 1535“Design, or as it is called, drawing, constitutes the fountainhead and substance of sculpture, architecture and every kind of painting and is the root of all sciences. Let him who has attained the possession of this be sure that he possess a great treasure.†- Michaelangelo Buonorotti"Everything's already been said, but since nobody was listening, we have to start again." - Andre Gide"Consistency requires you to be as ignorant today as you were a year ago."
-Bernard Berenson"Without DESIGN there may be REPRESENTATION, but there can be no ART." - Kenyon Cox"Everybody is an artist these days. Rock and Roll singers are artists. So are movie directors, performance artists, make-up artists, tattoo artists, con artists, and rap artists. Madonna is an artist because she explores her own sexuality. Snoop Doggy Dogg is an artist because he explores other people's sexuality. Victims who express their pain are artists. So are guys in prison who express themselves on shirt cardboard. Even consumers are artists when they express themselves in their selection of commodities. The only people left who seem not to be artists are ILLUSTRATORS." - Brad Holland"Nine-tenths of the nation, ninety per cent of people, ninety-five percent of people, are absolute fools, and they're bigger fools about painting than anything else. Because it's a terribly rare thing for people to feel anything about painting. They can feel, oddly enough, about music, they can feel even about the theatre. But hardly anyone really feels about painting: they read things into it - even the most intelligent people - they think they understand it, but very, very few people are aesthetically touched by painting." - Francis Bacon, 1975"You see, all art art has now become completely a game by which man distracts himself; and you may say it has always been like that, but now it's entirely a game. What is fascinating now is that it's going to become much more difficult for the artist, because he must really deepen the game to be any good at all." - Francis Bacon"The amateur artist is TYRANNIZED by detail." - Andre Lhote"I am an artist; and should be exempt from shit." - P.J. Proby"People with courage and character always seems sinister to the rest." - Hermann Hesse"The artist must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true." - John Steinbeck"Art is an occupation in which you have to keep proving your talent to people who have none." - Jules Renard"The two most common *elements* in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity." - Harlan Ellison"If you are going to be arrogant, you ought to at least be right." - Myron Barnstone
