“The art of painting is the Art of hollowing out a canvas.”

Georges Seurat (1859–1891) French painter

from an essay by Roger Fry, in 'The Dial', Camden, New Jersey, September 1926
undated quotes

“Being an artist now means to question the nature of art. If one is questioning the nature of painting, one cannot be questioning the nature of art. If an artist accepts painting (or sculpture) he is accepting the tradition that goes with it. That’s because the word art is general and the word painting is specific. Painting is a kind of art. If you make paintings you are already accepting (not questioning) the nature of art. One is then accepting the nature of art to be the European tradition of a painting-sculpture dichotomy.”

Joseph Kosuth (1945) American conceptual artist

Joseph Kosuth in: Arthur R. Rose, “Four Interviews,” Arts Magazine (February, 1969).

“Acting is therefore the lowest of the arts, if it is an art at all.”
