Art begins with resistance - at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor.

To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.

Art is parasitic on life, just as criticism is parasitic on art.

The waking mind is the least serviceable in the arts.

Advertising is the greatest art form of the 20th century.

My imagination can picture no fairer happiness than to continue living for art.

Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake.

What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit.

To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist.

Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
