artistic means perceive prove relative studies
The aim of our studies is to prove that color is the most relative means of artistic expression, that we never really perceive what color is physically.

In Italy the artist is a god. Now if the artist is a god, the scientist is likewise a god.
art art-is objects
Thus art is not an object, it is an experience.
teacher art school
I was at the Royal Art School. That was a preparatory school specially for art teachers. You see, it was not so much for the development of artists. But we had there terribly stiff training.
art tradition historian
Traditionally art is to create and not to revive. To revive: leave that to the historians, who are looking backward.
art art-is concerned
Art is concerned with the HOW and not the WHAT.
art air order
I do not like to be a prophet. I like better to paint than to predict what the next painters will do. Though I have a feeling that consideration of order is very much in the air.
fashion appreciation art
It is not so for art in appreciation because art is concerned with human behavior. And science is concerned with the behavior of metal or energy. It depends on what the fashion is. Now today it's energy. It's the same soul behind it. The same soul, you see.
art creative secret
Ah, the creative process is the same secret in science as it is in art. They are all the same absolutely.
art believe mean
Therefore art means: you have to believe, to have faith, that is, cultivate vision.
art philosophy people
Instead of art I have taught philosophy. Though technique for me is a big word, I never have taught how to paint. All my doing was to make people to see.
art jobs attitude
The aim of art is a constant, and a continuous job to reveal visually the attitude of our mentality. And the less we disturb the influence of our mentality the more I believe we come close to the truth.
art attitude purpose
The role of art for me is the visualization of attitude, of the human attitude towards life, towards the world.
art purpose purpose-of-art
The purpose of art is to re-present nature, not represent it.
