Art rides in on pleasure.
Walter Darby Bannard

Walter Darby Bannard

Walter Darby Bannard
To an art historian a Giotto is a 14th Century painting. To an artist it was painted yesterday. We free ourselves from the past when we see it freshly.
Walter Darby Bannard
Art is too popular. If plumbing was as popular as art is we would have amateur plumbers running around brandishing wrenches and Roto-Rooters, climbing in and out of sewers and writing gibberish about pipe systems. And none of our our toilets would work.
Walter Darby Bannard
One needs to be right before getting righteous.
Walter Darby Bannard
When inspiration dies, imitation thrives.
Walter Darby Bannard
When you make the obvious mysterious, then the mysterious becomes unavailable.
