“The paintings in our galleries are seen one day in bright sunshine and another day in the dim light of a rainy afternoon, yet they remain the same paintings, ever faithful, ever convincing. To a marvelous extent they carry their own light within. For their truth is not that of a perfect replica, it is the truth of art.” ArtLightTruthPerfectPaintingTruth IsOne DayFaithfulSunshineAfternoonMarvelousConvincingGalleryRainyAnother DayLight WithinReplica Author:Ernst Gombrich

“[On John Tunnard:] One day a marvelous man in a highly elaborate tweed coat walked into the gallery. He looked a little like Groucho Marx. He was as animated as a jazz-band leader, which he turned out to be. He showed us his gouaches, which were as musical as Kandinsky's, as delicate as Klee's, and as gay as Miró's.” MenLittlesArtistLeaderGayOne DayBandJazzMusicalDelicateMarvelousCoatsGalleryAnimatedJazz BandTweedKandinsky Book:Out of This Century: The Informal Memoirs of Peggy Guggenheim Source: Out of This Century: The Informal Memoirs of Peggy Guggenheim
“Some artists leave remarkable things which, a 100 years later, don't work at all. I have left my mark; my work is hung in museums, but maybe one day the Tate Gallery or the other museums will banish me to the cellar... you never know.” KnowsYearsArtistLeftOne DayMarkRemarkableMuseumsHungGalleryCellarsMaybe One Day Author:Francis Bacon
“I'm criticizing the way they are perceived. I was going through a book of Marina Abramovic and Ulay's 1970s performance work the other day. These people did two, even three Documentas or Venice Biennales over the course of a decade without any fuss. They would just treat it as any of their other engagements, with the same level of dignity and commitment they'd reserve for a one-day event in a small gallery on the Austrian mountains.” PeopleWayTwoBookThreeCoursesLevelsEventsOne DayMountainCommitmentDignityPerformancesTreatsDecadesCriticizeEngagementReservesGalleryVenice Author:Maurizio Cattelan
“I was born in the south of France, I moved to Paris 30 years ago. I was running nightclubs and restaurants, so that was my business - working until six o'clock every morning, and then one day I noticed my wife. We opened the gallery together. She got pregnant, she was 22, I was 35, and it was time for me to change my life, and I decided to wake up early - wake up at the time I used to sleep.” YearsRunningTogetherUsedBornSleepMorningWifeOne DaySixYears AgoDecidedWake UpMovedSouthMy WifeFranceClockParisRestaurantsPregnantEvery MorningGalleryUp EarlyChanging My LifeNightclubs Author:Patrick Seguin
