Some nice art quotes from my favorite artists to start off the month!
-Only when he/she no longer knows what he/she is doing does the painter do good things. Edgar Degas
-Painting is easy for those that do not know how, but very difficult for those that do! Edgar Degas
-Art is literacy of the heart- Elliot Eisner

- Chris Gardner Quote -"You know how mountains get moved? Everyone who can move a couple, move a couple. Those who can move rocks, move rocks. Those who can move boulders, move boulders. That’s how mountains get moved. If every one of us did everything we could, I believe we would be in a different world."

- Art quotes I found today:
-Artists paint virtual doorways. Viewers stand in front and choose whether to enter the visual narrative... (Ken Campbell)
-The artist appeals to that part of our being which is not dependent on wisdom; to that in us which is a gift and not an acquisition – and therefore, more permanently enduring. They speak to our capacity for delight and wonder, to the sense of mystery surrounding our lives; to our sense of pity, and beauty and pain. (Joseph Conrad)

- Jackson Pollock - "It doesn't matter how the paint is put on, as long as something is said"

Joseph Cambell quote - "Art is the transforming experience. The revelation of art is not ethics, nor a judgement, nor even humanity as one generally thinks of it. Rather, the revelation is a marveling recognition of the radiant form of forms that shines through all things."
