Famous quotes containing the word art:
“We do not fear censorship for we have no wish to offend with improprieties or obscenities, but we do demand, as a right, the liberty to show the dark side of wrong, that we may illuminate the bright side of virtue—the same liberty that is conceded to the art of the written word, that art to which we owe the Bible and the works of Shakespeare.”
—D.W. (David Wark)
“Were art to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
“The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
