Architecture is the story of how we see ourselves. It is the architect's job to service everyday life.
Architecture is how the person places herself in the space. Fashion is about how you place the object on the person.
Inspiration in Science may have to do with ideas, but not in Art. In art it is in the senses that are instinctively responsive to the medium of expression.
I believe art has to take responsibility but it should not give up being art.
Art is longing. You never arrive, but you keep going in the hope that you will.
The main thing in making art often is letting go of your expectation and your idea.
Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.
Art is a reality, not a definition; inasmuch as it approaches a reality, it approaches perfection, and inasmuch as it approaches a mere definition, it is imperfect and untrue.
And I have exposed myself to art so that my work has something beyond just the usual potter.
We at BMW do not build cars as consumer objects, just to drive from A to B. We build mobile works of art.
The forms of art are inexhaustible; but all lead by the same road of aesthetic emotion to the same world of aesthetic ecstasy.
I always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work.
In an artwork you're always looking for artistic decisions, so an ashtray is perfect. An ashtray has got life and death.
People don't like contemporary art, but all art starts life as contemporary - I can't really see a difference.
The difference between art about death and actual death is that one's a celebration and the other's a dull fact.
When it came to my art, I went my own way and did not follow the trends.
Good art in general aspires to something, as a good painting aspires to something, almost spiritual or holy.
It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.
In visual perception a color is almost never seen as it really is - as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art.
In the place where I was a child, there were no artists and there was no art, so I really didn't know what that meant.
I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own.
