More From Duke Ellington

The naive which is simultaneously beautiful, poetic, and idealistic, must be both intention and instinct. the essence of intention, in this sense, is freedom. consciousness is far from intention. there is a certain enamoured contemplation of one's own naturalness or silliness which itself is unspeakably silly. intention does not necessarily require a profound calculation or plan.
Beautiful Silly Essence
It is neither art for art, nor art against art. i am for art, but for art that has nothing to do with art. art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with art.

If it had been our intention to take iraq, if it had been our intention to destroy the country, if it had been our intention to overrun the country, we could have done it unopposed.

When i was at art school, a lot of art education is about art being a means of self-expression, and as an 18-year-old i didn't know if i had a huge amount i wanted to express. it was a big moment when i decided i wanted to shift the emphasis or the intention of my art from something i disgorged myself upon and something that actually fed me or made me see the world or understand the world.

Art isn't only a painting. art is anything that's creative, passionate, and personal. and great art resonates with the viewer, not only with the creator... art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. the medium doesn't matter. the intent does. art is a personal act of courage, something one human does that creates change in another.

The one object of fifty years of abstract art is to present art-as-art and as nothing else, to make it into the one thing it is only, separating and defining it more and more, making it purer and emptier, more absolute and more exclusive - non-objective, non-representational, non-figurative, non-imagist, non-expressionist, non-subjective. the only and one way to say what abstract art or art-as-art is, is to say what it is not.

Similar Quotes
The public does not like you to mislead or represent yourself to be something you're not. and the other thing that the public really does like is the self-examination to say, you know, i'm not perfect. i'm just like you. they don't ask their public officials to be perfect. they just ask them to be smart, truthful, honest, and show a modicum of good sense.
Smart Self Perfect
I know people who are twice as creative as i am, twice as smart, but they didn't do anything because they feared going into a room and opening their mouths. my parents told me to truly accomplish things in my life, there would be times i would have to stand alone. it may be scary, but that's what it requires.
Smart People Creative
