More quotes by Walter Darby Bannard
Assumptions are usually presumptuous but often correct.
Walter Darby Bannard
Good art, no matter how simple or casual-seeming, always carries a high density of choice.
Walter Darby Bannard
We learn to lie by believing words rather than experience.
Walter Darby Bannard
Art makes you reinvent the wheel with regularity. If you don't, art gets bored and slips away.
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
Whether something is called art is beside the point. What counts is what happens when you ask it to actually be art.
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
No high-minded painter of the last fifty years has been able to come to terms with his art without coming to terms with the problem of cubism.
Walter Darby Bannard
When anyone can produce dreck or publish gibberish, and not only get away with it but be celebrated for it, the discipline is no longer a discipline, and it will get no respect.
Walter Darby Bannard
Postmodernism does not help us understand good art. It encourages art that can be easily understood and throws in something catchy to cover the loss of mystery.
Walter Darby Bannard
There are too many artists, too many dealers and too much art.
Walter Darby Bannard
The more freedom artists have to do what they want to do, the more they do what other artists are doing.
Walter Darby Bannard
When you 'break all the barriers' you get a pile of rubble.
Walter Darby Bannard
When realistic images or patterns are seen in an abstract painting, they are often parallels brought about by processes in painting which echo processes in nature.
Walter Darby Bannard
Science is a matter of adjusting language to explain material reality. Art is a matter of adjusting material reality to create a sense of life.
Walter Darby Bannard
Postmodernism is silly and joyless at the same time.
Walter Darby Bannard
It matters little if something is 'craft' or 'art.' The question is only this: does it give me pleasure?
Walter Darby Bannard
Of course I will look at anything, but I have not got the time or the patience to keep on looking at art that I know could be better. I don't want art that needs fixing, I want art that sends me back to the studio to fix my own.
Walter Darby Bannard
Nothing is as hopeless as trying to justify art in words.
Walter Darby Bannard
Good art has everything you need to know about it in the work, not on a wall label. Art is here to take us beyond language.
