Author:     Henry Geldzahler Category:     Arts and Artists

"Art is skill, that is the first meaning of the word."
Author:     Eric Gill Category:     Arts and Artists

"Fortunately art is a community effort --a small but select community living in a spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the flesh."
Author:     Allen Ginsberg Category:     Arts and Artists

"Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self."
Author:     Jean-Luc Godard Category:     Arts and Artists

"Art is on the side of the oppressed. Think before you shudder at the simplistic dictum and its heretical definition of the freedom of art. For if art is freedom of the spirit, how can it exist within the oppressors?"
Author:     Nadine Gordimer Category:     Arts and Artists

"Art is so wonderfully irrational, exuberantly pointless, but necessary all the same. Pointless and yet necessary, that's hard for a puritan to understand."

Author:     Vaclav Havel Category:     Arts and Artists

"If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do. He's not a little peripheral figure entertaining rich people, he's really needed."
Author:     David Hockney Category:     Arts and Artists
