Why should art continue to follow nature when every other field has left nature behind?

abstract art is not the creation of another reality but the true vision of reality.

The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel.

The emotion of beauty is always obscured by the appearance of the object. Therefore, the object must be eliminated from the picture.

Every true artist has been inspired more by the beauty of lines and color and the relationships between them than by the concrete subject of the picture.

I wish to approach truth as closely as is possible, and therefore I abstract everything until I arrive at the fundamental quality of objects.

I, too, find the flower beautiful in its outward appearance. But a deeper beauty lies concealed within.

The surface of things gives enjoyment, their interiority gives life.

Curves are so emotional.

Art is not made for anybody and is, at the same time, for everybody.

The more basic the color, the more inward, the more pure.

Sometimes, The Things We Can't Change End Up Changing Us.

As we give presents at Christmas, we need to recognize that sharing our time and ourselves is such an important part of giving.

I can tell you that the end of life is the some of the love that was lived in it.

I've always thought that having an attractive free agent is better than a guy who was picked in the seventh round.

A relationship has to be cultivated. There have to be feelings of love for another first. But then you have to really like the person.

Fool, not to know that love endures no tie, And Jove but laughs at lovers' perjury.

For me, I feel like, between 'Tron' and 'Oblivion,' I've gotten to fulfill my 'Star Wars' fantasies, in a way.

Laughter is taken as a sign of strength, freedom, health, beauty, youth, and happiness.

I like doing the promotional work. It's part of the film's process. Cannes was very wonderful to premiere.
