I thought art was a verb, rather than a noun.

The word 'art' interests me very much. If it comes from Sanskrit, as I've heard, it signifies 'making.' Now everyone makes something, and those who make things on a canvas with a frame, they're called artists. Formerly, they were called craftsmen, a term I prefer. We're all craftsmen, in civilian or military or artistic life.

Art is a deception that creates real emotions - a lie that creates a truth. And when you give yourself over to that deception, it becomes magic.

Art is an expression of who we are, what we believe, and what we dream about.

Art indeed is a term referring to the social source and to the social utility of creative acts.

Art, to me, is the interpretation of the impression which nature makes upon the eye and brain.

Art is a sense of magic.

Art is about the messy and marvelous business of coming to your senses - and also, to the senses of the world.

Art is a way to express yourself and through that you can escape a bad situation.
