“A movie is painting, it's photography, it's literature - because you have to have the screenplay - it's music. Put a different soundtrack to a comedy and it's a tragedy. A movie combines all those forms and forces you to pay attention for two hours with a group of people.” PeopleTwoDifferentFormLiteratureForceHoursPayAttentionComedyGroupsPaintingPhotographyTragedyPay AttentionScreenplaysSoundtracks Author:Paula Patton

“So long as painting deals with objective nature, it is an impure art, for recognizability precludes the highest aesthetic emotion.

“I'm interested in how we define things by how we choose to observe them, and how everywhere in our lives, and in every moment we experience, there are forces at work that we don't fully understand. Couple this curiosity with a love of portraiture painting, and that's how this project was born.” MomentsForceBornOur LivesPaintingCoupleProjectsCuriosityPortraiture Author:Oliver Jeffers
“The whole Renaissance tradition is antipethic to me. The hard-and-fast rules of perspective which it succeeded in imposing on art were a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress; Cezanne and after him Picasso and myself can take a lot of credit for this.

“Once you realize that the world is your own projection, you are free of it. You need not free yourself of a world that does not exist, except in your own imagination! However is the picture, beautiful or ugly, you are painting it and you are not bound by it.

See the imaginary as imaginary and be free of fear.” WorldNeedsDoeRealBeautifulForceFearRealizingImaginationPaintingHabitBoundsUglyDuesBeing RealImaginaryProjectionFree Yourself Author:Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

“Unlike the marks of a painting, the photo seems to organize its 'opinions' in relation to the world; even when the photographs have clearly been manipulated, the 'opinions' seem to have all the more force, with the suggested 'participation of the world' articulating that 'opinion' as a difference.” WorldSeemsForceDifferencesOpinionPaintingMarkRelationPhotographOrganizeParticipationArticulating Author:Joseph Kosuth
