“Art and life are seen to be rich and mutually enriching”
Neville Weston“To approach a city, or even a city neighborhood, as if it were a larger architectural problem, capable of being given order by converting it into a disciplined work of art, is to make the mistake of attempting to substitute art for life. The results of such profound confusion between art and life are neither life nor art. They are taxidermy. In its place, taxidermy can be a useful and decent craft. However, it goes too far when the specimens put on display are exhibitions of dead, stuffed cities.”
Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities“Most humans, it seems, still put up fences around their acts and thoughts – even when these are piles of shit – for they have no other way of delimiting them. Contrast Paleolithic cave paintings, in which animals and magical markings are overlayed with no differentiation or sense of framing. But when some of us have worked in natural settings, say in a meadow, woods, or mountain range, our cultural training has been so deeply ingrained that we have simply carried a mental rectangle with us to drop around whatever we were doing. This made us feel at home. (Even aerial navigation is plotted geometrically, thus giving the air a "shape".)”
Allan Kaprow, Essays on the Blurring of Art and Life“...it's not what artists touch that counts most. It's what they don't touch.”
Allan Kaprow, Essays on the Blurring of Art and Life“Painting is mute poetry, and poetry is blind painting”
Leonardo da Vinci, Thoughts on Art and Life“Painting relates to both art and life. Neither can be made - I try to act in the gap.”
Robert Rauschenberg“Art and life are subjective. Not everybody's gonna dig what I dig, but I reserve the right to dig it.”
Whoopi Goldberg“I abhor the supreme folly of those who blame the disciples of nature in defiance of those masters who were themselves her pupils”
Leonardo da Vinci, Thoughts on Art and Life“I'm giving into my tendency to want to blur and blend the lines between art and life, and privacy and sharing.”
Lia Ices“You can have no dominion greater or less than that over yourself.”
Leonardo da Vinci, Thoughts on Art and Life
