| Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers - and never succeeding.
Gian Carlo Menotti Culture is the arts elevated to a set of beliefs.
Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.
In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.

| Art is so hard to define. There is art which speaks to your intellect and art which speaks to your heart and then there is nature. |
