Bernard Berenson
Not what man knows but what man feels, concerns art. All else is science.
Bernard Berenson
Life has taught me that it is not for our faults that we are disliked and even hated, but for our qualities.
Bernard Berenson
I wonder whether art has a higher function than to make me feel, appreciate, and enjoy natural objects for their art value?
Bernard Berenson
Boast is always a cry of despair, except in the young it is a cry of hope.
Bernard Berenson
International affairs will be placed on a better footing when it is understood that there is no way of punishing a people for the crimes of its rulers.
Bernard Berenson
When everything else physical and mental seems to diminish, the appreciation of beauty is on the increase.
Bernard Berenson
In figure painting, the type of all painting, I have endeavoured to set forth that the principal if not sole source of life enchantments are Tactile Values, Movement and Space Composition.
