"All humanity is passion; without passion, religion, history, novels, art would be ineffectual." ― Honore de Balzac Topic(s): Art Tags: humanity, passion, without More From Honore de Balzac "Children, dear and loving children, can alone console a woman for the loss of her beauty." "Love may be or it may not, but where it is, it ought to reveal itself in its immensity." "The majority of husbands remind me of an orangutan trying to play the violin." More In Art "Abstract Expressionism – the first American movement to have a worldwide influence – was remarkably short-lived: It heated up after World War II and was all but done for by 1960 (although visit any art school today and you’ll find a would-be Willem de Kooning)."― Jerry Saltz "Many museums are drawing audiences with art that is ostensibly more entertaining than stuff that just sits and invites contemplation. Interactivity, gizmos, eating, hanging out, things that make noise – all are now the norm, often edging out much else."― Jerry Saltz "There’s some people who are not understanding what Limp Bizkit is about. But, then again, who am I to tell people what they can use art for or how they can interpret it?"― Fred Durst
