"Great art is as irrational as great music. It is mad with its own loveliness." ― George Jean Nathan Topic(s): Art More From George Jean Nathan "Beauty makes idiots sad and wise men merry." "Politics is the diversion of trivial men who, when they succeed at it, become important in the eyes of more trivial men." "Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote." More In Art "The giant white cube is now impeding rather than enhancing the rhythms of art. It preprograms a viewer’s journey, shifts the emphasis from process to product, and lacks individuality and openness. It’s not that art should be seen only in rutty bombed-out environments, but it should seem alive."― Jerry Saltz "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."― Pablo Picasso "Art is changing. Again. Here. Now. Opportunities to witness this are rare, so attend and observe."― Jerry Saltz
