L’art n’est pas à mes yeux une réjouissance solitaire, il est un moyen d’émouvoir le plus grand nombre d’Hommes en leur offrant une image privilégiée des souffrances et des joies communes.
The purpose of art, the purpose of a life can only be to increase the amount of freedom and responsibility that is in every man and in the world.
Albert Camus (Discours de réception du prix Nobel, 1957)
Art and speech are the two organs of human progress. One communicates hearts, and the other communicates thoughts.
Romain Rolland (Vie de Tolstoï)
Art does not want the representation of a beautiful thing but the beautiful representation of a thing.
Emmanuel Kant
Art does not want the representation of a beautiful thing but the beautiful representation of a thing.
Paul Auster (Moon Palace)
