“The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss ...” — Paul Gauguin Quote

“The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.”

“Many excellent cooks are spoilt by going into the arts.”

“I shut my eyes in order to see.”

“What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.”

“Needless to say, anybody who can stumble through a C-major scale knows that Art Tatum always gave his audiences 10 times their money's worth.”

“When I have a camera in my hand, I know no fear.”
