Quotes by Pranav Mistry

Quotes by Piet Mondrian

Frequently Asked Questions

What perspectives on art are covered in this collection?
A few distinct takes - being an artist "to the core" with a goal of elevating humanity, art shaping personal character, and two versions of the idea that film "is not the art of scholars but of illiterates" and should be watched straight on.
Is there a quote about art and personal identity?
Yes, two of them. One speaker calls themselves "an artist to the core," aiming to elevate humanity through their art. Another says their art has had a strong influence on the kind of person they are. For more on personal growth, see the Life page.
Is there a quote specifically about film as art?
Yes - in fact there are two closely related versions of the same idea, both arguing that film "is not the art of scholars but of illiterates" and should be looked at straight on rather than over-analyzed.
Is there anything here about art's broader purpose or ambition?
Yes, one quote frames the speaker's whole objective as using their talents "to elevate humanity through my art" - a big-picture statement about art's purpose. For more ambitious, purpose-driven quotes, check out the Great page.
