We have long possessed the art of war and the science of war, which have been evolved in the minutest detail.
I like to cook, walk on the beach, go to concerts and look at fine art.
Good art in general aspires to something, as a good painting aspires to something, almost spiritual or holy.
There's an art to stupid comedy. There's an art to offensive comedy, and I think the key is it's just gotta make you laugh.
Not just art for art's sake, but I want to have films out there that will provoke authentic, holistic conversations about the human condition. And not provide the easy answers, but put it out there.
All I want to do is make sure that art is available to all Americans in a participatory way, whether you engage in the art process yourself or you're an audience member.
A performance art piece is unprecedented. It is difficult to censor since it has a good possibility of never being done before.
Performance art is the ultimate in creativity. Since it has so many possibilities at creativity, it's essence tends to become creativity.
All good performance pieces have some philosophical validity. That's the difference between mere theater and performance art.
I wanted to work in the arts. My dream come true would be to be an architectural historian and work with the royal palaces and all the fabulous art collections. But I'm not committed enough.
I believe that an art exhibition can be engaging, fun and deeply intellectually satisfying and serious. These are not contradictory concepts in art.
To be honest, I sort of feel like 'movie actor' isn't of this time. I love it. But it's a 20th-century art form.
My culture-deprived, aspirational mother dragged me once a month from our northern suburb - where the word art never came up - to the Art Institute of Chicago. I hated it.
Children do have the potential to kill art. But now I think they kill the bad art. At least that is what my son has done for me.
Madness is the absolute break with the work of art; it forms the constitutive moment of abolition, which dissolves in time the truth of the work of art.
Cooking is an art, but all art requires knowing something about the techniques and materials. Using modernist techniques, you get more control, and that allows you to be more artistic, not less!
Art, well good art at least, takes you to a place you go during the experience of it, and then after you experience it you are different.
While I recognize the necessity for a basis of observed reality... true art lies in a reality that is felt.
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, at least the truth that is given to us to understand.
When you make art, you get really invested in it. When art happens by accident and you were just along for the ride? It's way more fun.
Motion pictures are the art form of the 20th century, and one of the reasons is the fact that films are a slightly corrupted artform. They fit this century - they combine Art and business!
