“I actually think that my films are intellectual. I think almost everything I do is intellectual, but I would never say that, because that's a compliment. That's up to others to say about me. The same way, I would never say I do art. I think art is up to history. It's up to other people to utter that word. So I try to be humble.” PeopleThinkingWayTryingArtFilmIntellectualArt IsHumbleComplimentBe Humble Author:John Waters
“Intellectual culture seems to separate high art from low art. Low art is horror or pornography or anything that has a physical component to it and engages the reader on a visceral level and evokes a strong sympathetic reaction. High art is people driving in Volvos and talking a lot. I just don't want to keep those things separate. I think you can use visceral physical experiences to illustrate larger ideas, whether they're emotional or spiritual. I'm trying to not exclude high and low art or separate them.” PeopleThinkingWantTryingArtIdeasUseSeemsSpiritualCultureStrongLevelsTalkingEmotionalReaderHorrorIntellectualLowsArt IsDrivingReactionsPornographyComponentsSympatheticEvokeVisceralHighs And LowsHigh ArtVolvo Author:Chuck Palahniuk

“For me, it's really important that the experience of art is always something that is able to provoke strong emotion, an emotion that you feel in your heart or your stomach, but also that challenges the brain at the same time. It's an experience - physical and intellectual.” FeelsHeartArtImportantAbleStrongChallengesEmotionBrainIntellectualArt IsStomachProvokingStrong Emotions Author:Camille Henrot
“The artist must operate on the assumption that the public consists in the highest order of individual; that he is civilized, cultured, and highly sensitive both to emotional and intellectual contexts. And while the whole public most certainly does not consist in that sort of individual, still the tendency of art is to create such a public - to lift the level of perceptivity, to increase and enrich the average individual's store of values... I believe that it is in a certain devotion to concepts of truth that we discover values.” BelieveDoeArtStillsWholeArtistCertainValuesOrderIndividualI BelieveLevelsEmotionalHighestIntellectualArt IsConceptsIncreaseAverageStoresDevotionTendenciesLiftsSensitiveAssumptionCivilized Author:Ben Shahn
“Even in a personal sense, after all, art is an intensified life. By art one is more deeply satisfied and more rapidly used up. It engraves on the countenance of its servant the traces of imaginary and intellectual adventures, and even if he has outwardly existed in cloistral tranquility, it leads in the long term to overfastidiousness, over-refinement, nervous fatigue and overstimulation, such as can seldom result from a life of the most extravagant passions and pleasures.” IfsLongArtUsedPassionTermPleasureResultsAdventureIntellectualArt IsSatisfiedNervousServantLong TermImaginaryTranquilityFatigueRefinementCountenanceExtravagantLead InEngraveOverstimulation Author:Thomas Mann

“Perhaps the best reason for regarding mathematics as an art is not so much that it affords an outlet for creative activity as that it provides spiritual values.
