A. Alvarez
Twentieth-century art may start with nothing, but it flourishes by virtue of its belief in itself, in the possibility of control over what seems essentially uncontrollable, in the coherence of the inchoate, and in its ability to create its own values.

Aaron Howard
Art is... a question mark in the minds of those who want to know what's happening.

Abraham Maslow
A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.
|
Adolf Berle
The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.
|
Al Capp
A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.

Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.

Albert Camus
A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.
|
Albert Camus
Art advances between two chasms, which are frivolity and propaganda. On the ridge where the great artist moves forward, every step is an adventure, an extreme risk. In that risk, however, and only there, lies the freedom of art.
|
Albert Camus
Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.
|
Albert Einstein
After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest scientists are always artists as well.
|
Alexander Eliot
So-called art restoration is at least as tricky as brain surgery. Most pictures expire under scalpel and sponge.

Ambrose Bierce
Painting, n.: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather, and exposing them to the critic.
|
Amy Lowell
Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.
|
Andr? Gide
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
|
Andr? Malraux
The true painter strives to paint what can only be seen through his world.
|
Andre Breton
The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness, the rigidity, the regularity, the luster on every interior and exterior facet, of the crystal.
