“Surely to root politics out of art is a highly necessary undertaking: for the freedom of art, like that of science, depends entirely upon its objectivity and non-practical, non-partisan passion.” ArtPassionDependsArt IsRootsPracticalsObjectivityUndertakingsPartisans Book:The Diabolical Principle and The Dithyrambic Spectator Source: The Diabolical Principle and The Dithyrambic Spectator
“The beautiful is and remains beautiful though it arouse no emotion whatever, and though there be no one to look at it. In other words, although the beautiful exists for the gratification of an observer, it is independent of him. In this sense music, too, has no aim (object), and the mere fact that this particular art is so closely bound up with our feelings by no means justifies the assumption that its aesthetic principles depend on this union.” LooksMeanArtFactsFeelingsBeautifulEmotionPrinciplesObjectsParticularDependsArt IsAimIndependentRemainsUnionsMereBoundsAssumptionJustifyAestheticObserversGratification Author:Eduard Hanslick
“A man can be an artist... in anything, food, whatever. It depends on how good he is at it. Creasey's art is death. He's about to paint his masterpiece.” MenArtArtistFireDependsArt IsPaintMasterpiece Author:Christopher Walken

I find it quite easy to switch heads and I enjoy both the mayhem of being on tour and the serenity of being alone in my art studio.” IfsArtPlayEasyEnjoyMy OwnCareersPlayerPaintingDependsMusicianArt IsStudiosSerenitySoloBassMayhemBass Players Author:Horace Panter
“It is not so for art in appreciation because art is concerned with human behavior. And science is concerned with the behavior of metal or energy. It depends on what the fashion is. Now today it's energy. It's the same soul behind it. The same soul, you see.” HumansArtSoulTodayEnergyBehindsFashionDependsBehaviorArt IsConcernedAppreciationMetalsHuman Behavior Author:Josef Albers
