There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of
supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to
questions of power and privilege or the artist's relation to bread and blood.
In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by
the artist's concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song
is higher than the struggle.
Adrienne Rich
If You have some ideas about culture, music, art, literature, science,
money, finance, love, language, education, humour, marketing and
communication, then You can easily join Us!
Carl William Brown and the Daimon Club
The
art of creation is older than the art of killing.
Andrei Voznesensky
Contrary to popular belief an artist is never ahead of his time, but most
people are far behind theirs.
Edward Varese
For a good artist both introspection and observation are fundamental rules.
Carl William Brown
Considering that all art is political, an aphorism must always be brief,
artistic and philosophic, otherwise it can't be at all!
Carl William Brown
All art is quite useless.
Oscar Wilde
It is not hard to understand modern art. If it hangs on a wall it's a
painting, and if you can walk around it it's a sculpture.

A
work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag
has been left.
Marcel Proust
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da
Vinci]
Pierre Auguste Renoir
Art is too serious to be taken seriously.
Ad Reinhardt
Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist's
metaphysical value-judgments. An artist recreates those aspects of reality
which represent his fundamental view of man's nature.
Ayn Rand
Art
is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.
George Sand
All art is quite useless.
Oscar Wilde
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Pablo Picasso
The art of war is of vital importance to the State.
Sun Tzu
All art must be political, on the contrary it is not art, like the useless
stuff of some artisans or musicians who try to survive selling their escape
and trivial services to the power, more or less consciously!
Carl William Brown
I am an artist… I am here to live out loud.
Emile Zola
Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.
Yu Cao
Not
even the visionary or mystical experience ever lasts very long. It is for
art to capture that experience, to offer it to, in the case of literature,
its readers; to be, for a secular, materialist culture, some sort of
replacement for what the love of god offers in the world of faith.
Salman Rushdie
Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of
their fabrication.
Rebecca West
Art is the symbol of the two noblest human efforts: to construct and to
refrain from destruction.
Simone Weil
The goal of political government is nothing more than the art of controlling
the sheep through different guard dogs.
Carl William Brown
Time is money, life is art and business is war, therefore be prepared to
fight!
Carl William Brown
Who did you teach the secret and difficult art of trading? Whores. They cost
quite a lot, so I had necessarily to learn how to earn a bit of extra money!
That's why on Facebook I also founded a page called Trading Lovers!
Carl William Brown
All art is quite useless and so it is the universe.
Carl William Brown
The first mistake of art is to assume that it's serious.
Lester Bangs
People sometimes inquire what form of government is most suitable for an
artist to live under. To this question there is only one answer. The form of
government that is most suitable to the artist is no government at all.
Authority over him and his art is ridiculous.
Oscar Wilde
All great art, and today all great artlessness, must appear extreme to the
mass of men, as we know them today. It springs from the anguish of great
souls. From the souls of men not formed, but deformed in factories whose
inspiration is pelf.
Alexander Trocchi
What distinguishes a great artist from
a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their
imagination, and third, their industry.
John Ruskin
A primary function of art and thought
is to liberate the individual from the tyranny of his culture in the
environmental sense and to permit him to stand beyond it in an autonomy of
perception and judgment.
Lionel Trilling
It is
not in life, but in art that self-fulfillment is to be found.
George E. Woodberry
The artist must conceive with warmth yet execute with coolness.
Winkelmann
Since all art is political and what's more art is life, and life is art, we
must conclude that the real value of all this is shit!
Carl William Brown
Even though I don't like what I usually like, in this case I can neither say
that, nor I can think the contrary; but I must admit, irony excluded, that
the best art is always difficult to be understood.
Carl William Brown
Art, books, music, travel and photos are certainly much more interesting
than prostitutes and what's more they cost even much less.
Carl William Brown
This is my last comment on internet for this year, so I thought it should be
fairly good, in order to express my regard for a certain art, even if what a
person believes it is fair, for the other one is just rubbish.
Carl William Brown
A broker is a broker, no matter if he deals with weapons, drugs, art,
finance, or any other earthly bitch!
Carl William Brown
To the art of being satisfied I prefer by far that of being highly
unsatisfied and always angry with this stupid world!
Carl William Brown
Thanks to all the different forms of art the number of stupid people is
rapidly increasing!
Carl William Brown
The only real and practical art should be that of killing stupid people, all
the other forms are just trivial and useless diversions.
Carl William Brown
When Miley Cyrus should appear on the stage with a banana in her ass, just
then I would consider the girl a transgressive artist.
