Quotes About Art
“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”
“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.”
“Artists are like inventors, of cultural ideas and cultural objects. It isn’t something physical, it’s very ethereal. We’re essentially taking ideas thoughts and feelings and we’re kind of molding them into something that can give them a physical body.”
“Good artists copy; great artists steal.”
“Serve your food hot, serve it quick, and keep it simple. Allow mother nature to be the true artist. Allow her to do the work. You’re just a cook. And when you accept that in life, then life changes. Because like, artists, chefs are not too dissimilar. When they’re young, they tend to overwork it because they bring in all this information, all this knowledge, all this skill, and they feel they have to use it. But if you look at the great chefs, the great artists, they make it look so simple don’t they? They just allow it to be simple. So whatever you want to do in your life, don’t overwork it, don’t overthink it, and you’ll realise your dream. Trust me.”
“The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions that have been hidden by the answers”
