Heroes:
"I am for an art that takes its forms from the lines of life itself, that twists and extends and accumulates and spits and drips and is heavy and coarse and blunt and sweet and stupid as life itself."
(Claes Oldenburg)
"A thimbleful of red is redder than a bucketful"
(Henri Matisse)
"Abstraction is the way to the heart - it is not the heart itself."
(John Piper)
"The future is going to be boring. The suburbanisation of the planet will continue, and the suburbanisation of the soul will follow soon after."
(J. G. Ballard)
"Painting is a thundering collision of different worlds, intended to create a new world in, and from, the struggle with each other, a new world which is the work of art. Each work originates just as does the cosmos -- through catastrophes which out of the chaotic din of instruments ultimately create a symphony, the music of the spheres. The creation of works of art is the creation of the world."
(Wassily Kandinsky)
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
(Albert Einstein)
"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?"
(Douglas Adams)
