ART QUOTES
"He who despises painting has no love for the philosophy in nature."
Leonardo da Vinci
"the sight of a fine human figure is above all things pleasing to us, wherefore I will first construct the right proportions of man."
Duerer
"a picture is something that requires as much knavery, trickery, and deceit as the perpetration of a crime. Paint fasley, and then add the accent of nature.
The artist does not draw what he sees, but what he must make others see. Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things."
Edar Degas
“The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation.”
Auguste Rodin
“To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature.”
Auguste Rodin
"...who is so barbarous as not to understand that the foot of a man is nobler than his show, and his skin nobler than that of the sheep with which he is clothed..."?
Michelangelo
"The naked body is an altogether suitable object."
Paul Klee
“The event started back in '96. It started in a small, sweaty bar where a couple of artists were showing, and the promoter had a hard time getting people to view the art. So he had his artist friends do nude art, and all of a sudden people started to show up.”
