“Patrick White is a strongly individual, richly gifted, original and highly significant writer whose powers are remarkable and whose achievement is large. His art is dense, poetic, and image-ridden. It is always a substantial and genuine thing. At its finest it is one which goes beyond an art of mere appearances to one of mysterious actuality.” ArtIndividualWhiteAchievementArt IsOriginalsMereAppearanceSignificantGenuineMysteriousRemarkablePoeticGiftedFinestDenseActuality Author:William Walsh

“Art is the principal way in which the human mind has tried to remake the world in a way that makes sense. The carefully edited, slow-motion, action replay of a rugby tackle, a car crash or a sex act has more significance than the original event. Thanks to virtual reality, we will soon be moving into a world where a heightened super-reality will consist entirely of action replays, and reality will therefore be all the more rich and meaningful.” WorldWayMindHumansArtRealityActionMovingSexRichCarEventsArt IsOriginalsMeaningfulThanksMake SenseSignificanceHuman MindPrincipalCrashRugbyRemakesVirtual RealityEditedSlow MotionReplayCar Crash Author:J.

“I believe that any form of art is a species of exploration and transgression. ... Art by its nature is a transgressive act, and artists must accept being punished for it.

“The way I make art - the way a lot of people make art - is as an extension of language and communication, where references are incredibly important. It's about making a work that is inspired by something preexisting but changes it to have a new value and meaning that doesn't in any way take away from the original - and, in fact, might provide the original with a second life or a new audience.” PeopleWayArtImportantFactsMightValuesLanguageAudienceCommunicationArt IsOriginalsInspiredExtensionsLanguage And Communication Author:Shepard Fairey
“Most conservatives know better than to promote the state funding of art. The result of such funding is the mess that modern art has become. Atonal music is to music what subsidized art is to art. ...The fact that cacophony has reigned almost supreme since 1900 is a testimony to Mises' original observation. Atonal music is to music what socialism is to economics: planned chaos.” KnowsArtStatesFactsResultsModernMusic IsArt IsEconomicsOriginalsChaosSupremeSocialismObservationMessTestimonyFundingModern ArtCacophony Author:Gary North
“The commentator may be excused for repeating what he has stressed in his own books and lectures, namely that "offensive" is frequently but a synonym for "unusual;" and a great work of art is of course always original, and thus by its very nature should come more or less as a shocking surprise.” ShouldMayArtBookCoursesArt IsOriginalsSurpriseWorks Of ArtUnusualOffensiveShockingGreat WorkLecturesStressedCommentatorsSynonym Book:The Annotated Lolita: Revised and Updated Source: The Annotated Lolita: Revised and Updated
“My art is grounded in the belief of one universal energy which runs through everything: from insect to man, from man to spectre, from spectre to plant from plant to galaxy. My works are the irrigation veins of this universal fluid.
