"Poor Georgia O’Keeffe. Death didn’t soften the opinions of the art world toward her paintings." ― Jerry Saltz Topic(s): Art More From Jerry Saltz "Willem de Kooning is generally credited for coming out of the painterly gates strong in the forties, revolutionizing art and abstraction and reaching incredible heights by the early fifties, and then tailing off." "A sad fact of life lately at the Museum of Modern Art is that when it comes to group shows of contemporary painting from the collection, the bar has been set pretty low." "It took me twenty years to get Steven Parrino’s work. From the time I first saw his art, in the mid-eighties, I almost always dismissed it as mannered, Romantic, formulaic, conceptualist-formalist heavy-metal boy-art abstraction." More In Art "A country like Belgium, or socialist countries in central Europe spend more money on art education than the United States, which is a really puzzling thought."― Mikhail Baryshnikov "Evil is committed without effort, naturally, fatally; goodness is always the product of some art."― Charles Baudelaire "One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit."― Alexander Pope
