Fine Arts Quotes

“In our work titled “On Nature and Against Method, Reflections & Propositions,” in Proposition XXXVII, we stated the following: The ancient Ionian thinkers and natural philosophers who had, in a sense, transformed into the fire of Heraclitus, namely the masters of the Milesian school, the cradle of civilization, await the reemergence of this Ionian vision, which we have described as a kind of reverie, within Blue Anatolia. Science, which is now struggling within a profound darkness of processes and risks coming to a complete standstill in its progress, may yet be revitalized by minds that will once again inherit and internalize the approaches of these Ionian thinkers toward nature. Today more than ever, there is a need for Thales’ water and magnetism, Anaximenes’ breath, Anaximander’s apeiron, Anaxagoras’ ordering mind, and Xenophanes of Colophon’s counter-awareness, his narratives, and his poetic sensibility. In this spirit, alongside our discourse on contemporary physics and astrophysics, we have undertaken a postulate not previously articulated, one that unifies nuclear strong interactions, neutron star physics, biophysics, and topology under a single framework, where a topology-centered new geometry prevails rather than the conventional hierarchy of physical forces. Just as the masters of the Ionian tradition, Empedocles and Anaximander, conveyed their insights through a poetic feast in their works On Nature, we too have woven these ideas into the fabric of nature through our poems. In doing so, we have prioritized form over meter. This form, inseparable from consciousness, existence, and knowledge belonging to this new geometry, establishes a new morphology, acting as a boundary condition that shelters our words, preventing them from being dispersed within the labyrinths of the cosmos. In the philosophical walks by the lakeside, frequently contemplated by Gödel and Einstein, and placed, in Paul Benacerraf’s terms, upon paired circles that avoid reducing our postulate to either of the two axes of philosophy, ontology and epistemology, we instead enable a holistic interaction between them. While incomplete encounters within mathematical and geometric solution spaces find completion in Hilbert space, transcendent reflections on nature and our challenges to method form the essence of this work. In this context, rather than a conventional poetry book or a mere collection of arbitrary texts, what emerges is a meta-text: a systematic inquiry into nature in which intuition and science are interwoven, expressed through poetic form. Moving beyond contemporary literary tendencies that often confine poetry within blocks of prose or reduce it to brief expressions relegated to journal margins, we have tested poetry as not a decorative element but as a constitutive principle of existence. These transitions, imbued with reason and transcendence between layers of perception, have brought us one step closer to the harmony of poetic expression and, ultimately, to mathematics and geometry, the language of the universe itself. May this work serve as a guiding cosmological atlas for an intellect that seeks both truth and itself across interwoven meta-texts, in its comprehension of the infinite nature of reality.”

“Advertizing, television and film all wield mighty powers to visually seduce us, while much fine art leaves us indifferent, confused or, at worst, repulsed. There is a desperate need for creative Christians to redeem the visual arena from both forms of excess, cutting through all the false glamour, tawdry baseness and dense obfuscation.”

“There is always, in the fine arts, a physical interface between the artist's esthetic vision and the material result he seeks. The interface may be the application of brush to canvas, chisel to marble, bow to string... It may be the control of voice in song or the control of body in dance. It is the mastery of the interface that comprises the artistry; it is what constitutes the 'art' in fine art.”

“Poetry is one of the ancient arts, and it began, as did all the fine arts, within the original wilderness of the earth. Also, it began through the process of seeing, and feeling, and hearing, and smelling, and touching, and then remembering--I mean remembering in words--what these perceptual experiences were like, while trying to describe the endless invisible fears and desires of our inner lives.”

“I work in the field of art, and you know how during a period of Marxist ideology, fewer people are inclined to believe in the power of the culture as a whole: they believe in the revolutionary potential of economics, class struggle theory.. ..Therefore it's time to show that art means the power of creativity, and it's time to define art in a larger way, to include science and religion too..(1973”

“The first impression and a natural one is, that the fine arts have risen or declined in proportion as patronage has been given to them or withdrawn, but it will be found that there has often been more money lavished on them in their worst periods than in their best, and that the highest honours have frequently been bestowed on artists whose names are scarcely now known.”

“A standard saying among fly fishermen is that trout spend anywhere from 80 to 90 percent of their time feeding below the water's surface on the immature forms of aquatic insects. Some anglers are even more precise, but whatever the exact percentage , it's safe to say that to fully appreciate any tailwater fishery you will have to learn the fine art of nymphing.”

“In fine arts, when you make a painting, it's just a painting. But if you make a painting in the entertainment industry, it can be an album cover or a t-shirt or a logo. I like that entertainment has this usefulness - that it's ultimately trying to make a bunch of people feel something, and to think about life and be able to use things that were so simple and direct but potentially have a really powerful effect.”

“I didn't want to be criticized for taking low-quality photographs, so I tried to reach the best, highest quality of photography and then to combine this with a conceptual art practice. But thinking back, that was the wrong decision [laughs]. Developing a low-quality aesthetic is a sign of serious fine art-I still see this.”
