Deep Shag Records - Artists

Famous quotes containing the word artists:

“Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are. A really great poet is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating. The worse their rhymes are, the more picturesque they look. The mere fact of having published a book of second-rate sonnets makes a man quite irresistible. He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realise.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“Critics are more committed to the rules of art than artists are.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“... the great artists ... do not want security, egoistic or materialistic.”
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
