Pablo Picasso
That's the motivation of an artist - to seek attention of some kind.
James Taylor
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
Aristotle
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.
William Faulkner
