“Painting is a fine art: not merely because it gives us trees and faces and lovely things to see, but because paint is a finely tuned antenna, reacting to very unnoticed movement of the painter's hand, fixing the faintest shadow of a thought in color and texture.” GivingArtHandsFacesTreeMovementColorPaintingFineShadowPaintLovelyPainterTextureFine ArtsFixingReactingUnnoticedLovely ThingsAntenna Book:What Painting Is Source: What Painting Is
“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.” PeopleIfsThinkingFeelsTryingArtUseAbleSimplePowerfulEffectsPaintingFineIndustryDirectAlbumsEntertainmentBunchShirtsT ShirtUsefulnessFine ArtsEntertainment IndustryLogosReally PowerfulAlbum Covers Author:Andrew W.K.
“What a conception of art must those theorists have who exclude portraits from the proper province of the fine arts! It is exactly as if we denied that to be poetry in which the poet celebrates the woman he really loves. Portraiture is the basis and the touchstone of historic painting.” IfsArtPaintingPoetFineBasesCelebrateConceptionDeniedPortraitsHistoricFine ArtsProvincesTheoristsTouchstonesPortraiture Author:August Wilhelm von Schlegel
“The idea was to take fine art and put it into the location of the movie scripts. The script itself is collage - some of the lines come from actual movies and I've written others to make the text work with the found image. In this way, the details of old dead guys' paintings (from the collection of the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, where this work will be exhibited in relation to the historical paintings) become illustrations of the movie scripts. I found this mélange of high art and Hollywood amusing.” WayArtIdeasGuyFoundLinesWrittenPaintingFineHollywoodRelationHistoricalScriptsDetailsCollectionsMuseumsLocationAmusingFine ArtsIllustrationCollagesHigh ArtFrankfurt Author:John Baldessari

“We are not simply intellectual creatures. We wish to make love, to enjoy a gourmet dinner, to jog in the park, to cheer lustily at a ball game, to engage in spirited conversation with our friends, to play bridge or tennis, travel to exotic places, struggle with others to build a better world, and to enjoy the arts. The arts are so vital because they help to make life worth living. Music, poetry, literature, paintings, dance, and the theater are among our richest joys...The fine arts contribute immeasurably to the good life and that is why we cherish them.” WorldArtPlayHelpingJoyLiteratureGamesWishEnjoyStrugglePaintingFineConversationCreaturesIntellectualBallsTheaterDinnerBridgesParksTennisCherishCheerGood LifeMaking LoveWorth LivingExoticFine ArtsSpiritedLife Worth LivingBall GamesGourmetExotic Places Author:Paul Kurtz
“I feel like what's most important for painting - which has been hierarchically on the top for a really long time in terms of what is considered fine art, by comparison with something like a comic book or what's considered low art - is that painting should open up laterally to include other cultures and things that don't immediately resonate as a painting but are obviously of equal contribution to the genre.” FeelsShouldLongHas BeensArtImportantBookCultureTermPaintingFineEqualLong TimeLowsArt IsComicGenreContributionComparisonComic BookFine ArtsOther CulturesReally Long Author:Laura Owens
