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

What is art? Art talks about life; it's subversive.

Art is not in some far-off place. A work of art is the expression of a man's whole personality, sensibility and ability.

Art never harms itself by keeping aloof from the social problems of the day: rather, by so doing, it more completely realises for us that which we desire.

Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.

Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it.

Art is lunging forward without certainty about where you are going or how to get there, being open to and dependent on what luck, the paint, the typo, the dissonance, give you. Without art you're stuck with yourself as you are and life as you think life is.

Art is basically made by dissatisfied people who are willing to find some means to relieve the dissatisfaction.

Art is a liaison between some sort of deranged mentality and others who are not going through it.

Art's a very metaphysical activity. It's something that enriches the parameters of your life, the possibilities of being, and you touch transcendence and you change your life. And you want to change the life of others, too. That's why people are involved with art.
