Art is skill, that is the first meaning of the word.

I never called my work an 'art'. It's part of show business, the business of building entertainment.

Art is not a thing; it is a way.

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

It's been noted that writing about the production of art is a masquerade or metaphor for writing about writing. This may be true, there are similarities - both the verbal and the visual represent the thing or the concept.

Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.

If Art relates itself to an Object, it becomes descriptive, divisionist, literary.

Art is either plagiarism or revolution.

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.
