“Certain music is terrifically inspirational and it is possible, months or even years afterwards, to look at a painting and remember the music that was playing during its execution.” YearsLooksRememberCertainMusicPaintingMonthsMusic IsExecution Author:Robert Genn
“Just listening carefully to what the musicians are really doing, putting the music in the right time... I became aware of the degree to which time, and therefore duration, was important in music and in art. It had a direct influence on my painting.” ArtImportantMusicInfluencePaintingListeningDegreesMusicianDirectRight TimeJust ListenDuration Author:Guido Molinari
“In part of Lord Kames' Elements of Criticism, he says that "music improves the relish of a banquet." That I deny,--any more than painting might do. They may both be additional pleasures, as well as conversation is, but are perfectly distinct notices; and cannot, with the least propriety, be said to mix or blend with the repast, as none of them serve to raise the flavor of the wine, the sauce, the meat, or help to quicken appetite. But music and painting both add a spirit to devotion, and elevate the ardor.” WellsMaySaidHelpingMightSpiritPleasureMusicLordPaintingConversationElementsCriticismRaisesWineAddDenyDevotionMeatAppetiteFlavorSauceRelishProprietyBanquetsArdor Author:Laurence Sterne
“I encourage film students who are interested in cinematography to study sculpture, paintings, music, writing and other arts. Filmmaking consists of all the arts combined. Students are always asking me for advice, and I tell them that they have to be enthusiastic, because it's hard work. The only way to enjoy it is to be totally immersed. If you don't get involved on that level, it could be a very miserable job. I only have one regret about my career: I'm sorry that we are not making silent movies any more. That is the purest art form I can imagine.” IfsWayWritingArtI CanHardJobsFilmFormEnjoyLevelsMusicCareersStudyImagineAdviceStudentsPaintingRegretHard WorkInvolvedPureAskingSilentSorryMiserableCombinationCinemaMovieFilmmakingI'm SorrySculptureGet InvolvedEnthusiasticInvolvementCinematographySilent MoviesMusic WritingFilm Students Author:Vilmos Zsigmond
“Art is beauty, and every exposition of art, whether it be music, painting, or the drama, should be subservient to that one great end. As long as nature is a means to the attainment of beauty, so-called realism is necessary and permissable [sic], but it must be realism enhanced by idealism and uplifted by the spirit of an inner life or purpose.” ShouldMeanLongArtEndsSpiritPurposeBeautyMusicPaintingDramaArt IsRealismIdealismAttainmentInner LifeSubservient Author:Julia Marlowe
“Sculpture and painting are very justly called liberal arts; a lively and strong imagination, together with a just observation, being absolutely necessary to excel in either; which, in my opinion, is by no means the case of music, though called a liberal art, and now in Italy placed even above the other two--a proof of the decline of that country.” MeanArtTwoCountryTogetherArtistStrongImaginationMusicOpinionCasesPaintingMusicianProofObservationDeclineSculptureLivelyLiberal Arts Author:Lord Chesterfield
“It's a creative enterprise, just like art, just like painting, music. Creating something can be done in different categories, so to do it in film is just another expression, which is great.

“The many great gardens of the world, of literature and poetry, of painting and music, of religion and architecture, all make the point as clear as possible: The soul cannot thrive in the absence of a garden.
