across art authentic delight documented face human life material novel purity raw true
The biographical novel is a true and documented story of one human being's journey across the face of the years, transmuted from the raw material of life into the delight and purity of an authentic art form.
art liquid enough
Bleed me of art, and there won't be enough liquid left in me to spit! [Michelangelo Buonorotti]
art wine winter
Art's a staple. Like bread or wine or a warm coat in winter. Those who think it is a luxury have only a fragment of a mind. Man's spirit grows hungry for art in the same way his stomach growls for food.
art book art-is
Art is amoral; so is life. For me there are no obscene pictures or books; there are only poorly conceived and poorly executed ones.
artist ideas hours
An artist without ideas is a mendicant; barren, he goes begging among the hours.
artist
Nature always resists the artist at the beginning.
art people normal
Normal people do not create art.
artist firsts laborers
To be an artist is first to be a manual laborer.
art maximum values
The maximum value of art is that it allows the artist to express himself.
artist finest features
All artists are crackpots. And it's their finest feature.
artist normal happens
No artist is normal. Who happen to be normal cannot be an artist.
artist vans
I will be an artist. I am sure I will. [Vincent Van Gogh]
religious art believe
We...believe that art is religious, because it is one of man's highest aspirations. There is no such thing as pagan art, only good and bad art.
heart thinking artist
I cannot draw a human figure if I don't know the order of his bones, muscles or tendons. Same is that I cannot draw a human face if I don't know what's going on his mind and heart. In order to paint life one must understand not only anatomy, but what people feel and think about the world they live in. The painter who knows his own craft and nothing else will turn out to be a very superficial artist.
