Art : (365)

" We have art in order not to die of the truth. " - Friedrich Nietzsche

" The essential argument in the book, ‘Art as Therapy,’ is that art enjoys such financial and cultural prestige that it’s easy to forget the confusion that persists about what it’s really for. " - Alain de Botton

" I think if I hadn’t had the dance background, it would have been much harder as a kid to be like, ‘I’m going to be an actress.’ But you’re involved with one area of the arts and other things interest you. It feels like an easier move. " - Dianna Agron

" Part of my agenda has been to support art that engages life with people. " - Jeffrey Deitch

" I got so I was really just sick of sculpture. " - Robert Rauschenberg

" My father was a painter, so I was encouraged to take a sketchbook everywhere. Cameras are perishable, but I still have tonnes of sketchbooks from all the trips I’ve ever been on. It gets you by when you don’t know what to give people as a gift; drawings are good souvenirs. " - Jane Birkin

" Advertising is the greatest art form of the 20th century. " - Marshall McLuhan

" I wasn’t embraced as an Irish artist back in the Moloko days. Modern electronica isn’t what you think of when you think of Irish music. " - Roisin Murphy

" Of course, it’s wonderful to film any period piece – but especially ‘Foyle’s War’ because the art direction is so imaginative and yet at the same time so real. You can open a drawer on set, and even though the camera never sees what’s inside, it’ll be filled with genuine 1940s documents. " - Honeysuckle Weeks

" There’s nothing I love more than admiring the details and embellishments on the works of art that I wear. " - Violet Chachki
