I see little
of more importance to the future of our country and of
civilization than full recognition of the place of the
artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture,
society must set the artist free to follow his vision
wherever it takes him.
-- John F. Kennedy
1917-1963, Thirty-fifth
President of the USA

And the first
rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty
heart, till the Devil whispered behind the leaves ''It's
pretty, but is it Art?''

Art does not
reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible.

The more
horrifying this world becomes, the more art becomes
abstract.

In art, one
idea is as good as another. If one takes the idea of
trembling, for instance, all of a sudden most art starts to
tremble. Michelangelo starts to tremble. El Greco starts to
tremble. All the Impressionists start to tremble.
-- Willem De Kooning
1904-, Dutch-born American
