On the first Friday of February, Beth and I managed to swing by The Link for the Art Fair. Here are some of my favourite pieces. We crammed as much as we can in less than an hour, so I only have a few photos.
"The purpose of art is to give the traveling human race an improved map that shows the way to itself. If art isn't for *that*, what is it for?" William Saroyan
"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way -
things I had no words for." Georgia O'Keeffe
"Love has one purpose, that is to create art." Julianne O'Connor
"The job of art is not to store moments of experience but to explore environments
that are otherwise invisible. Art is not a retrieval system of precious moments of past cultures.
Art has a live, ongoing function." Marshall McLuhan
"Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is
recognition of the pattern." Alfred North Whitehead
"Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable." Cesar A. Cruz
"I want to overhear passionate arguments about what we are and
what are we doing and what we ought to do." Marilyn Robinson
"An artist's work is one long conservation with life." Marty Rubin
"Art-making is not about telling the truth but making the truth felt." Christian Boltanski
"Art is why I get up in the morning, but my definition ends there." Ani DiFranco
"I think that is what film and art and music do; they can work as
a map of sorts for your feelings." Bruce Springsteen
"They always say time changes things,
but you actually have to change them yourself." Andy Warhol
