Quotes by Mickalene Thomas

When I decided to go to art school, it wasn't necessarily something I thought I needed. No one talked about graduate school when I was an undergrad. I went on to a residency at the Studio Museum in Harlem, and...

Quotes by Mickalene Thomas

Quotes by Mickey Drexler

Quotes by Mick Ebeling

Quotes by Michelle Visage

Style is objective, akin to art, so it varies.

Quotes by Michelle Visage

Quotes by Michelle Visage

Ru and I have been best friends since, well, let's just say they used the telegraph when we first met. Being able to work with my BFF is a dream come true and even more? To see what he has...

Quotes by Michelle Visage

I agree with Ru that it'll never be mainstream, because mainstream means everybody knows it, everybody loves it, everybody accepts it. That's never gonna happen with drag, but it's definitely become more mainstreamed for people that never knew anything about...

Quotes by Michelle Visage

I hit the road with a bunch of drag queens every year, sometimes two times a year. Again, as such a fan of drag, it's the art form that excites me and the longform presentation that they do. So it's...

Quotes by Michelle Visage

The School of the Art Institute is an extraordinary teaching institution by the fact that it believes that active studio artists are good teachers. That may seem an obvious statement, but in higher education, it is often the student's course...

Quotes by Michelle Grabner

Quotes by Michelle Grabner

Contemporary curators orbit in the place of distribution and consumption, and less and less in the space of artists. I think it has become a lazy profession in regard to its relationship to the artists and the vigorous state of...

Quotes by Michelle Grabner

Quotes by Michelle Lujan Grisham

The diversity of perspective, the unwillingness to generalise - those are good traits in countries as they are in art.

Quotes by Michelle Dean

I still think, most of the time, when people called shows like 'The Sopranos' or 'Deadwood' 'art' that they were correct.

Quotes by Michelle Dean

We do learn a thing or two from art. It may not be the one-to-one instruction of a moral lesson or the rote learning of a grammatical rule or mathematical concept. But the habits of mind art cultivates are important.

Quotes by Michelle Dean

My trade and art is to live.

Quotes by Michel de Montaigne

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.
Where can I read more about how art is perceived or valued?
For a closer look at how art and status intersect, see the Status page. For more general uplifting quotes, the Good page is also worth browsing.
