Famous quotes containing the words life and/or art:

    He is a man of one idea: that life has a symbolic significance. Which is to say that life and art are one.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    A more problematic example is the parallel between the increasingly abstract and insubstantial picture of the physical universe which modern physics has given us and the popularity of abstract and non-representational forms of art and poetry. In each case the representation of reality is increasingly removed from the picture which is immediately presented to us by our senses.
    Harvey Brooks (b. 1915)
