“In Utero is a testament to the artistic vision of Kurt Cobain. It's kind of a weird record, and it's strangely beautiful at the same time. And if you look at Kurt's paintings and his drawings - he even did a sculpture for me - it's a rising, tortured-spirit person. It's kind of weird. It's done well, but it's like what Dave was saying about having your own sound. Kurt was a great songwriter. He knew he had a good ear for a hook [and was] a great singer, great guitar player, and In Utero is a good representation of what he liked in art and how he expressed himself.” IfsWellsLooksKindPersonsArtDoneBeautifulSpiritSoundVisionRecordsPlayerPaintingEarsGuitarDrawingSingersArtisticRisingSongwritersRepresentationTestamentHookSculptureGuitar PlayerDaveArtistic VisionCobain Author:Krist Novoselic

In this way and in no other does art overcome the ugly without avoiding it.” WayDoeArtBeautifulBeautySubjectsArt IsOvercomingUglyTiedRepresentationAvoidingInseparablePictorial Book:The Diaries of Paul Klee, 1898-1918 Source: The Diaries of Paul Klee, 1898-1918
“Poetry can be criticized only through poetry. A critique which itself is not a work of art, either in content as representation of the necessary impression in the process of creation, or through its beautiful form and in its liberal tone in the spirit of the old Roman satire, has no right of citizenship in the realm of art.” ArtBeautifulFormSpiritPoetryProcessCreationPoetCriticismImpressionRealmsToneSatireWorks Of ArtRepresentationCitizenshipCritique Author:Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
“I have always been aware that I can never represent all trans people. No one or two or three trans people can. This is why we need diverse media representations of trans folks to multiply trans narratives in the media and depict our beautiful diversities.” PeopleNeedsI CanTwoBeautifulThreeMediaDiversityFolksNarrativeDiverseRepresentationTrans Author:Laverne Cox
