Actual Image

Famous quotes containing the words actual and/or image:

“Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence. If nobody, including the artist, acknowledges art as a means of knowing the world, then art is relegated to a kind of rumpus room of the mind and the irresponsibility of the artist and the irrelevance of art to actual living becomes part and parcel of the practice of art.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)

““Power may be at the end of a gun,” but sometimes it’s also at the end of the shadow or the image of a gun.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
