"Any authentic work of art must start an argument between the artist and his audience." ― Rebecca West Topic(s): Art More From Rebecca West "Everyone realizes that one can believe little of what people say about each other. But it is not so widely realized that even less can one trust what people say about themselves." "Life ought to be a struggle of desire toward adventures whose nobility will fertilize the soul." "The main difference between men and women is that men are lunatics and women are idiots." More In Art "The greatest work of art about New York? The question seems nebulous. The city’s magic and majesty are distilled in the photographs of Alfred Stieglitz and Paul Strand."― Jerry Saltz "To an engineer, good enough means perfect. With an artist, there’s no such thing as perfect."― Alexander Calder "I was always interested in photography and other forms of art."― Mikhail Baryshnikov
