Quote by Neal Shusterman

“Longing and elation, anguish and joy — they were all there, sometimes commingling in the same canvas. It was in some ways unsettling, but compelling as well.”

“I believe, then, that the characteristic or moral elements of Gothic are the following, placed in the order of their importance: 1. Savageness. 2. Changefulness. 3. Naturalism. 4. Grotesqueness. 5. Rigidity. 6. Redundance. These characters are here expressed as belonging to the building; as belonging to the builder, they would be expressed thus: - 1. Savageness or Rudeness. 2. Love of Change. 3. Love of Nature. 4. Disturbed Imagination. 5. Obstinacy. 6. Generosity. And I repeat, that the withdrawal of any one, or any two, will not at once destroy the Gothic character of a building, but the removal of a majority of them will. I shall proceed to examine them in their order.”

“Magritte’s variations on the same theme invite us to rethink conventional notions of originality, to look more carefully at the details and contrasts between different versions of the painting: we observe the architectural variations of the Belgian houses, the varieties of trees in the foreground, of the streetlamps and their shadows, and of the skyscapes. Some of these paintings are in portrait format, others in landscape; some, like the 1961 version, give the viewer a deeper sense of proximity to, or immersion in, the scene while in others the depicted world is more distant. Together, these variant paintings form an internal system of poetic rhythms and patterns in which cross-references abound, alongside allusions to older Belgian art, most notably La Maison rose (1892) by the symbolist William Degouve de Nuncques.”

“So, like so many artists before me, my comrades-in-arms, Rembrandt, Rubens, da Vinci, Caravaggio, Michelangelo, anyone who willingly put themselves through this same ordeal, I purchased everything I needed and began hauling my canvases, easel, and paints all over the large metropolis of Vienna every day. I searched for my voice, my signature, what made my paintings inherently and unmistakably mine.”

“AH: A great artist is imperative to society, doctor, because that person decides to pursue the uncertain future of an artist for no other reason than to create art and improve life for everybody. Art is self-determining and undemocratic. It’s a meritocracy. And anyone with any sense at all understands that art is the soothing slave on the irritating wound that is life. DR: Did you just make that up? AH: Yes. DR. That’s very good.”
