"I owe much to mother. She had an expert’s understanding, but also approached art emotionally." ― David Rockefeller Topic(s): Art More From David Rockefeller "The Japanese have a wonderful sense of design and a refinement in their art. They try to produce beautiful paintings with the minimum number of strokes." "Philanthropy is involved with basic innovations that transform society, not simply maintaining the status quo or filling basic social needs that were formerly the province of the public sector." "I learned more from my mother than from all the art historians and curators who have informed me about technical aspects of art history and art appreciation over the years." More In Art "If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don’t write, because our culture has no use for it."― Anais Nin "A frenzied passion for art is a canker that devours everything else."― Charles Baudelaire "O, thou art fairer than the evening air clad in the beauty of a thousand stars."― Christopher Marlowe
