The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.
Paul Gauguin
The mediator of the inexpressible is the work of art.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
David Hockney
The more horrifying this world becomes, the more art becomes abstract.
Ellen Key
The most profound things are inexpressible.
Jenny Holzer
