Art Quotes
-
I want the respect of intelligent men but I will choose for myself the intelligent. I love art but I decide for myself what is art. I adore beauty but only my own soul shall tell me what is beauty. I worship God but I define and describe God for myself. I am an individual. The pleasure of my own heart shall be first to inform me when I have done good work.
Carl Sandburg

Until film is just as easily accessible as a pen or pencil, then it's not completely an art form. In painting, you can just pick up a piece of chalk, a stick, or whatever.

Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine,Two shadows starting to softly combine.The picture they're paintingIs one of the heart;And to those who have seen it,It's a true work of art.Oh, the red strokes,Passions uncaged;Thundering moments of tenderness rage.Oh, the red strokes,Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn),Burning the night like the dawn.

Barry Jenkins

As a longtime fan of talk radio, I'm very worried about the low opinion that conservative hosts and callers have of the American artist. Art is portrayed as a scam, a rip-off and snow job pushed by snobbish elites.

Miguel de Cervantes

Unlike Etsy, which is all handmade, we print and ship the products, not the designers. We relieve the designer from having to make and ship everything, package it, and provide customer service. All the designer has to do is submit art and keep doing what they love doing.
