Vincent van Gogh ~ Dell'Arte..

"A tutt’oggi, non ho trovato miglior definizione dell’arte di questa:
- L’arte è l’uomo aggiunto alla natura – natura, realtà, verità.
Ma col significato, il concetto, il carattere che l’artista sa trarne, che libera e interpreta".

Leonardo da Vinci ~ Il pittore e lo scultore

   Trattato della Pittura - Parte prima /33

Dice lo scultore la sua arte essere piú degna della pittura, conciossiaché quella è più eterna per temer meno l'umido, il fuoco, il caldo ed il freddo, che la pittura. A costui si risponde che questa tal cosa non fa più dignità nello scultore, perché tal permanenza nasce dalla materia, e non dall'artefice, la qual dignità può ancora essere nella pittura, dipingendo con colori di vetro sopra i metalli, o terra cotta, e quelli in fornace far discorrere, e poi pulire con diversi strumenti, e fare una superficie piana e lustra, come ai nostri giorni si vede fare in diversi luoghi di Francia e d'Italia, e massime in Firenze nel parentado della Robbia, i quali hanno trovato modo di condurre ogni grande opera in pittura sopra terra cotta coperta di vetro.

Paul Éluard ~ Je t'aime / I love you / Ti amo

I love you for all the women
I have not known
I love you for all the time
I have not lived
For the odor of the open sea and the odor of warm bread
For the snow which melts for the first flowers
For the pure animals man doesn’t frighten
I love you to love

T'amo per tutte le donne
che non ho conosciuto.
T'amo per tutte le stagioni
che non ho vissuto, per l'odore
d'altomare e l'odore del pane
fresco, per la neve che si
scioglie per i primi fiori
per gli animali puri che
l'uomo non spaventa.
T'amo per amare.

Harry McCormick, 1942 ~ Interior painter

You could call me a painter of 'genre' as well, meaning ordinary people doing ordinary things such as recently painting a series of painting of people looking at paintings in museums and galleries. It gave me an excuse to do copies of other great paintings done be such painters as Picasso, Monet, Cezanne, Sargent and the like'.
