If we depart form tradition, it is out of knowledge, not innocence.
Adolph Gottlieb
Image
In times of violence, personal predilections for niceties of colour and form seem irrelevant. All primitive expression (like the myths) reveals the constant awareness of powerful forces, the immediate presence of terror and fear.
Adolph Gottlieb
Image
... we believe in the vocation of communion and participation of our people, who day to day awaken to their political conscience and express their desire for change and profound democratization of society. A change based on justice, built with love, and which will bring us the most anxiously desired fruits of peace.
Adolfo Perez Esquivel
Image
My intention was to create a work of art which would transcend the visible, which cannot be perceived except in stages, with the understanding that it is a partial revelation and not the perpetuation of the existing. My aim is to show what can be seen within the limits of possibility which exists in the midst of coming into being.

I am trying to make things that are very, very serious, and what comes out of it is things that are quite friendly, gay, and sometimes even amusing.

Douglas Coupland
Image
We have to give our opinion, we have to say something, or we are a part of it. As an artist I am forced to say something.
Ai Weiwei
Image
