Sometimes I think my scars are beautiful, but then I remember not everyone shares the same love of art.
While art thrives on the blazing colours of scandal, literature blossoms on the dark soil of tragedy.
... food is not simply organic fuel to keep body and soul together, it is a perishable art that must be savoured at the peak of perfection.
We live in an age when the traditional great subjects - the human form, the landscape, even newer traditions such as abstract expressionism - are daily devalued by commercial art.
There are periods in history when change is necessary, and other periods when it is better to keep everything for the time as it is. The art of life is to be in the rhythm of your age.
My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.
Art makes us feel less alone. It makes us think: somebody else has thought this, somebody else has had these feelings.

Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking, but all in harmony together.
Nothing is as dangerous in architecture as dealing with separated problems. If we split life into separated problems we split the possibilities to make good building art.
The details are the very source of expression in architecture. But we are caught in a vice between art and the bottom line.
The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present.
I think I went to Italy initially for the art, architecture, food and history, but I stayed there because of the people in Cortona.
I've always liked traveling around Europe and seeing the architecture. The buildings in capital cities have been there for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years. Some look better than the new ones.
Information and inspiration are everywhere... history, art, architecture, everything an illustrator needs. Europe is, after all, the land that has generated most of the enduring myths and legends of Western culture.
Architecture is a art when one consciously or unconsciously creates aesthetic emotion in the atmosphere and when this environment produces well being.
I think in America there's this free flow between fashion, art, architecture, music and design. In Europe, it's more segregated between those different disciplines, I think.
