More quotes by Walter Darby Bannard
When anything can be art, art is not much of anything.
Walter Darby Bannard

Walter Darby Bannard
Live to paint, don't paint to live.
Walter Darby Bannard

Walter Darby Bannard
Purplish brown? Let's agree it / is a color so bad we all flee it / it has no good use / so let's name it Puce / from the sound we make when we see it.
Walter Darby Bannard
If art depended on content, then one painting of an apple would be as good as the next one.
Walter Darby Bannard
What is sublime? / the artist said. / I haven't time / to be well read. / To be sub lime / I'll place, instead, / green citrus fruit / upon my head.
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.
