When I was at college, the idea of fashion was more immediate to me, whereas art photography, the depth of it, was a different thing. Storytelling - fanciful storytelling - can only be told through fashion photography. It's the perfect way to play with fantasy and dreams. Tim Walker artcollegedepth share on social
I appreciate art in any form. So it applies to clothes as well. On stage, I think people prefer me in Indian outfits... in fact, it goes with the kind of songs I sing as well. Indianness in the form of a sari, or a chaniya choli or jeans with something interesting, matches my style of singing. Shreya Ghoshal applyartchaniya share on social
It's my belief that cooking is a craft. I think that you can push it into the realm of art, but it starts with craft. It starts with an understanding of materials. It starts with an understanding of where foods are grown. Tom Colicchio artbeliefcook share on social
I admire Ai Weiwei for his art and his activism. His art is beautiful in form, and in function embodies the principles of populism and social consciousness I aspire to in my own practice. Shepard Fairey activismadmireart Change image and share on social
I don't have this obsessive need to do street art all the time because it's already opened doors for me. Shepard Fairey artdoorobsessive Change image and share on social
When you walk down the street and see something in a crazy spot, there's something powerful about that. The street will always be an important part of getting art out there for me. Shepard Fairey artcrazyimportant Change image and share on social
I believe that it's an author's job to cast his imagination into the far spaces. Your life should - and I think it's inescapable that it will - inform your work. I'm all for using anything that can make your art better, but your intuition should be an equal partner. Brent Weeks artauthorcast share on social
I think that a good deal of poetry and art gives us some sense of access to another's voice, perception, texture of thought, imagination. Sometimes it gives us better access to the strangeness in ourselves. Mary Szybist accessartdeal share on social
The reason I do this job is because I started to be a painter. Making money in art was difficult. The easiest way to make money was to use art for some other reason. One of the easiest and most interesting from an economic point of view was fashion. Fashion pays. Franco Moschino artdifficulteasy share on social
'What is this', and 'How is this done?' are the first two questions to ask of any work of art. The second question immediately illuminates the first, but it often doesn't get asked. Perhaps it sounds too technical. Perhaps it sounds pedestrian. James Fenton artaskilluminate share on social
