artist museums blue
No academy could have given me all I discovered by getting my teeth into the exhibitions, the shop windows, and the museums of Paris . Beginning with the market - where, for lack of money, I bought only a piece of a long cucumber - the workman in his blue overall, the most ardent followers of Cubism , everything showed a definite feeling for proportion, clarity, an accurate sense of form, of a more painterly kind of painting, even in the canvases of second-rate artists.
love life art
In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.
artist good-person genuine
We all know that a good person can be a bad artist.But no one will ever be a genuine artist unless he is a great human being and thus also a good one.
artist jew ifs
If I weren't a Jew then I wouldn't be an artist, or at least not the one I am now.
art lying sleep
The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world. In this long vigil he often has to vary his methods of stimulation; but in this long vigil he is also himself striving against a continual tendency to sleep.
life beautiful art
If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.
art ends artist
Great art picks up where nature ends.
art men our-world
Despite all the troubles of our world, in my heart I have never given up on the love in which I was brought up or on man's hope in love. In life, just as on the artist's palette, there is but one single colour that gives meaning to life and art–the colour of love
art soul sacred
Art seems to me to be above all a state of soul. All souls are sacred, the soul of all the bipeds in every quarter of the globe.
art spring movement
Everything in art must spring from the movement of our whole life-stream, of our whole being - including the unconscious.
art mind problem
Art is foremost a state of mind, and only secondarily a problem of form.
art blue soul
But perhaps my art is the art of a lunatic, I thought, mere glittering quicksilver, a blue soul breaking in upon my pictures.
art teaching blood
In spite of everything, there is still no more wonderful vocation than to continue to tolerate events and to work on in the name of our mission, in the name of that spirit which lives on in our teaching and in our vision of humanity and art, the spirit which can lead us Jews down the true and just path. But along the way, peoples will spill our blood, and that of others.
art soul states
Art seems to me to be above all a state of soul.
