The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution. Cezanne I hope with all my heart that there will be painting in heaven. Claude Bernard Life without industry is guilt, and industry without art is brutality. Ruskin Art takes nature as its model. If the artist sees nothing within him, then he should also refrain from painting what he sees before him.
All art is but imitation of nature.
The aim off art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. A man paints with his brains and not with his hands. I feel strongly that the visual arts are of vast and incalculable importance. Of course I could be prejudiced. I am a visual art.
