I like England more than I did when I left. It's become a bit of a better country in the last ten years in the attitude of it. A bit more Americanized which is both good and bad. At least when you order a cup of coffee they don't give you a hard time.
Part of our western outlook stems from the scientific attitude and its method of isolating the parts of a phenomenon in order to analyze them.
It remains to consider what attitude thoughtful men and Christian believers should take respecting them and how they stand related to beliefs of another order.
The attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves.
Like success failure is many things to many people. With Positive Mental Attitude failure is a learning experience a rung on the ladder a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again.
When you are thwarted it is your own attitude that is out of order.
I want art to make me think. In order to do that it may piss me off or make me uncomfortable. That promotes awareness and change or at least some discussion.
All art is exorcism. I paint dreams and visions too the dreams and visions of my time. Painting is the effort to produce order order in yourself. There is much chaos in me much chaos in our time.
Our individual lives cannot generally be works of art unless the social order is also.
Art is like a border of flowers along the course of civilization.
There's something pleasing about large well-lit spaces. I love that dealers are willing to take massive chances in order to give this much room to their artists. Most of all I love that more galleries showing more art gives more artists a shot.
Rumors sound of galleries asking artists for upsized art and more of it. I've heard of photographers asked to print larger to increase the wall power and salability of their work. Everything winds up set to maximum in order to feed the beast.
I had wanted a tape recorder since I was tiny. I thought it was a magic thing. I never got one until just before I went to art school.
Life is the art of being well deceived and in order that the deception may succeed it must be habitual and uninterrupted.
Art is man's constant effort to create for himself a different order of reality from that which is given to him.
I am a poor man and of little worth who is laboring in that art that God has given me in order to extend my life as long as possible.
Art in itself is an attempt to bring order out of chaos.
The task of art today is to bring chaos into order.
Works of art in my opinion are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order and that is why though I don't believe that only art matters I do believe in Art for Art's sake.
I cry out for order and find it only in art.
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
And when an architect has designed a house with large windows which is a necessity today in order to pull the daylight into these very deep houses then curtains come to play a big role in architecture.
To create architecture is to put in order. Put what in order? Function and objects.
What people want above all is order.
I was away from the front lines for a while this spring living with other troops and considerable fighting took place while I was gone. When I got ready to return to my old friends at the front I wondered if I would sense any change in them.
