“The man who has honesty, integrity, the love of inquiry, the desire to see beyond, is ready to appreciate good art. He needs no one to give him an 'Art Education'; he is already qualified. He needs but to see pictures with his active mind, look into them for the things that belong to him, and he will find soon enough in himself an art connoisseur and an art lover of the first order.” MenNeedsGivingMindFirstsLooksArtEnoughDesireOrderHonestyHe ManReadyLoversIntegrityAppreciateActiveInquiryQualifiedCollectorsGood ArtHonesty IntegrityArt EducationSoon EnoughConnoisseurActive MindsArt Lovers Book:The Art Spirit Source: The Art Spirit
“Sometimes I scrape off a lot. You have on the floor, like cow dung in the field, this big glob of paint... and it's just a lot of inert matter, inert paint. Then I look back at the canvas, and it's not inert - it's active, moving and living.” LooksSometimesMatterBigsMovingFieldsPaintActiveCowsCanvasDissatisfaction Author:Philip Guston
