“Feminist art is not some tiny creek running off the great river of real art. It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species.” ArtRealRunningHalfArt IsRiversStonesSpeciesFeministGenderTinyCracksOne HalfFlawlessCreeksSubjugationFeminist Art Author:Andrea Dworkin
“Art is too popular. If plumbing was as popular as art is we would have amateur plumbers running around brandishing wrenches and Roto-Rooters, climbing in and out of sewers and writing gibberish about pipe systems. And none of our our toilets would work.” IfsWritingArtRunningArt IsProfessionClimbingToiletsPipePlumberSewersPlumbingWrenches Author:Walter Darby Bannard

“A work of art... is not a living thing... that walks or runs. But the making of a life. That which gives you a reaction. To some it is the wonder of man's fingers. To some it is the wonder of the mind. To some it is the wonder of technique. And to some it is how real it is. To some, how transcendent it is. Like the 5th Symphony, it presents itself with a feeling that you know it, if you have heard it once.” MenGivingMindArtRealRunningWalksWonderArt IsFingersTechniqueReactionsWorks Of ArtLiving ThingsSymphonyTranscendent Author:Louis Kahn
