Wassily Kandinsky | Art Quotes / Aforismi sull'arte

Ogni opera d'arte è figlia del suo tempo e spesso è madre della nostra sensibilità.
Every work of art is the child of its age and, in many cases, the mother of our emotions.
Color is a power which directly influences the soul.
Color provokes a psychic vibration. Color hides a power still unknown but real, which acts on every part of the human body.
L'arte oltrepassa i limiti nei quali il tempo vorrebbe comprimerla, ed indica il contenuto del futuro.
Il colore è un mezzo di esercitare sull'anima un'influenza diretta. Il colore è un tasto, l'occhio il martelletto che lo colpisce, l'anima lo strumento dalle mille corde.
An empty canvas is a living wonder... far lovelier than certain pictures.
Mi sembrava che l'anima viva dei colori emettesse un richiamo musicale, quando l'inflessibile volontà del pennello strappava loro una parte di vita.

Auguste Rodin | Impressionist / Romantic sculptor

Auguste Rodin's works created a new era in sculpture.
Known as Auguste Rodin, François-Auguste-René Rodin, was a romantic and realistic french sculptor
Although Rodin is generally considered the progenitor of modern sculpture, he did not set out to rebel against the past.
He was schooled traditionally, took a craftsman-like approach to his work, and desired academic recognition, although he was never accepted into Paris's foremost school of art.
Sculpturally, Rodin possessed a unique ability to model a complex, turbulent, deeply pocketed surface in clay.
