I don't think artists can avoid being political. Artists are the proverbial canaries in the coalmine. When we stop singing, it's a sure sign of repressive times ahead. (Theresa Bayer)
There is only one art, whose sole criterion is the power, the authenticity, the revelatory insight, the courage and suggestiveness with which it seeks its truth. Thus, from the standpoint of the work and its worth it is irrelevant to which political ideas the artist as a citizen claims allegiance, which ideas he would like to serve with his work or whether he holds any such ideas at all. (Vaclav Havel)
Art does not solve problems, but makes us aware of their existence. It opens our eyes to see and our brain to imagine.~ Magdalena Abakanowicz
All great art comes from a sense of outrage. ~ Glenn Close
Art hath an enemy called ignorance. ~Ben Jonson
Art is the struggle to understand. ~Audrey Foris
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. ~Aristotle
Art is when you hear a knocking from your soul - and you answer. ~Star Richés
Art is not what you see, but what you make others see. ~ Edgar Degas
