The arts have only ever interested a small minority of people, which acted as a kind of nursery to support artists.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
Even though it was the 70s, we found old stocks of clothes that had never been worn from the 50s and took them apart. I started to teach myself how to make clothes from that kind of formula.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
We wanted to step off our island and add the color of the third world. We got gold cigarette paper and stuck it around our teeth. We really did look like pirates and dressed to look the part.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
The young Japanese, especially, love to wear the latest thing and when they come to London they head for my shops as part of what they want to find in Britain.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
Feminists wish women to seem like men. They're not men.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
Nature is inside art as its content, not outside as its model.
Northrop Frye
Image
For us chess players the language of artist is something natural.
Vladimir Kramnik
Image
A creative writer must study carefully the works of his rivals, including the Almighty. He must possess the inborn capacity not only of recombining but of re-creating the given world. In order to do this adequately, avoiding duplication of labor, the artist should know the given world.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
I do not see any essential difference between abstract and primitive art. Both are simple and sincere. Naturally, we should not generalize in these matters: It is the individual artist that counts.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
Jerry reversed the usual formula of the superhero who goes to another planet. He put the superhero in ordinary, familiar surroundings, instead of the other way around, as was done in most science fiction. That was the first time I can recall that it had ever been done.
Joe Shuster
Image
It is not the being paid money in advance that jars the sensitive artist: it is the having to work.
P. G. Wodehouse
Image
Artists are a free society's greatest advocates and its best bulwarks. Their triumphs are civilization's triumphs.
Andres Serrano
Image
An artist is nothing without his or her obsessions.
Andres Serrano
Image
The artist has a duty to be calm. He has no right to show his emotion, his involvement, to go pouring it all out at the audience. Any excitement over a subject must be sublimated into an Olympian calm of form. That is the only way in which an artist can tell of the things that excite him.
Andrei Tarkovsky
Image
It is perfectly possible to be a professional director or a professional writer and not to be an artist: merely a sort of executor of other people's ideas.
Andrei Tarkovsky
Image
The artist is always the servant, and is perpetually trying to pay for the gift that has been given to him as if by a miracle. Modern man, however, does not want to make any sacrifice, even though true affirmation of the self can only be expressed in sacrifice.
Andrei Tarkovsky
Image
An artist cannot be partially sincere any more than art can be an approximation of beauty.
Andrei Tarkovsky
Image
An artist needs knowledge and the power of observation only so that he can tell from what he is abstaining, and to be sure that his abstention will not appear artificial or false.
Andrei Tarkovsky
Image
It is only too true that a lot of artists are mentally ill - it's a life which, to put it mildly, makes one an outsider. I'm all right when I completely immerse myself in work, but I'll always remain half crazy.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am a woman and I am from Mexico, that is true. I am an artist, that is also true. When I work, I hope I'm not a woman from Mexico but an artist in body and spirit.
Andrea Suarez Paz
Image
It is the artist's business to create sunshine when the sun fails.
Romain Rolland
Image
Hitler was never more than average as an artist. His great talent was for the games of politics.
Volker Ullrich
Image
I don't think I live the lifestyle that's expected of a quote unquote R&B artist. I'm just not that dude.
Miguel
Image
Poor artist! You gave away part of your soul when you painted the picture which you are now trying to dispose of.
Paul Gauguin
