Pieces hundreds of years old are beautiful from an aesthetic point of view, but without our modern energy.” YearsArtBeautifulEnergyViewsPiecesModernArt IsExtraordinaryPoint Of ViewContemporaryAestheticContemporary ArtNew Energy Author:Victor Pinchuk
“Now the work of art also represents a state of final equilibrium, of accomplished order and maximum relative entropy, and there are those who resent it. But art is not meant to stop the stream of life. Within a narrow span of duration and space the work of art concentrates a view of the human condition; and sometimes it marks the steps of progression, just as a man climbing the dark stairs of a medieval tower assures himself by the changing sights glimpsed through its narrow windows that he is getting somewhere after all.” MenHumansArtSometimesStatesOrderDarkSpaceViewsStepsConditionsArt IsWindowSightMarkFinalsStreamsAccomplishedWorks Of ArtClimbingRelativeHuman ConditionTowersMaximumStairsMedievalProgressionResentEquilibriumDurationEntropy Book:Entropy and Art: An Essay on Disorder and Order Source: Entropy and Art: An Essay on Disorder and Order
“Maybe this is a utopian view of art but I do believe that art can function as a vehicle, that it isn't just a cultural pursuit, something that happens in art galleries.

“In my view, madness is a place. You go. You come back. And I think we all take turns being the mental patient. Without a touch of crazy, literature can be a desolate place. In the current climate of careful speech, even fearful speech, smoke-free film scripts, thought-free songs, and child-proof locks on American minds, the oft-repeated lament of the arts is "Where have all those wonderful madmen gone?"” ThinkingMindChildrenArtFilmSongTurnsLiteratureViewsGoneWonderfulCrazySpeechArt IsMadnessClimatePatientScriptsCurrentsCarefulProofSmokeFearfulLocksMadmenLamentDesolatePlaces You Go Author:Carol O'Connell
“I think when people try to use their art for political views, I think they're art becomes smaller, less interesting.

But having said that, every day I live in sort of complete terror because of what I read in the newspaper and what is going on in the world. I'm constantly, as I think many of us are, overwhelmed by the sort of, mass psychosis that's occurring.” PeopleThinkingWorldWayTryingArtSaidUsePoliticalArtistSpeakInterestingViewsMassArt IsUniversalTerrorNewspapersConvinceOverwhelmedPsychosisPolitical ViewPedantic Author:Sean Lennon
