I am quite certain in my heart of hearts that modern music and modern art is not a conspiracy, but is a form of truth and integrity for those who practise it honestly, decently and with all their being. Michael Tippett artconspiracydecently share on social
If you go back to the Greeks and Romans, they talk about all three - wine, food, and art - as a way of enhancing life. Robert Mondavi artbackenhance Change image and share on social
My parents did not discourage me but could not understand how I could make a living by art. Their idea of an artist was a person who was condemned to starvation. Jacob Epstein artartistcondemn Change image and share on social
I really like working. I can't think of a job I didn't like. I was in an Alvin and the Chipmunks movie, which is not my idea of folk art; but I really enjoyed making it, and everyone was really nice. Jenny Slate alvinartchipmunk Change image and share on social
My father was a painter and he taught art. He once said to me, 'I never knew an Indian child who could not draw.' N. Scott Momaday artchilddraw Change image and share on social
I dug up some old John Buscema 'Conan' comics. Man, when Alfredo Alcala was inking, that was some of the most beautiful black and white comic art ever published. The stories are good, too, though early '70s comics based on Conan is a festival of sexist, racist stereotypes. Ted Naifeh 70salcalaalfredo share on social
If there is an art of living, it is not something that can be taught timelessly. We have lessons to learn from Aristotle et al, for sure, but not if we simply uproot them from their epoch and stamp them into 21st-century soil. Julian Baggini 21staristotleart share on social
Art led the way for me to recover. He got out of prison before me and started traveling all over the world before I did. He showed me by example that it could be done, and I'll always love him for that. Frank Morgan artleadlove share on social
I'd like to see the comics' style expanded. I'd like to see artists synthesize traditional comics arts style with fine-arts styles or whatever. I like to see innovation. I don't like it when an art form becomes stagnant. Harvey Pekar artartistcomic share on social
