Art History Quotes

Robert Smithson quote: "Art history is less explosive than the rest of history, so it..."
Art history is less explosive than the rest of history, so it sinks faster into the pulverized regions of time. Robert Smithson
I always enjoyed art history because, growing up in California, my exposure was limited, and it was a new experience. To learn the history of art opened up certain things to me, made me see. It intrigued me. Herb Ritts
There was once a time when art history and film were basically the same medium, but art history is frozen in late-19th-century technology that has survived into the early 21st century. Robert Nelson
The visual information of art history is going to students seamlessly, without the enormous trouble those of us who are older had when we studied art history many years ago. Robert Nelson
I learned more from my mother than from all the art historians and curators who have informed me about technical aspects of art history and art appreciation over the years. David Rockefeller
Because subjects like literature and art history have no obvious material pay-off, they tend to attract those who look askance at capitalist notions of utility. The idea of doing something purely for the delight of it has always rattled the grey-bearded guardians of the state. Sheer pointlessness has always been a deeply subversive affair Terry Eagleton
Margaret Atwood quote: "The heart with letters on it shining like a light bulb through..."
The heart with letters on it shining like a light bulb through the trim hole painted in the chest, art history. Margaret Atwood
PICARD: There is no greater challenge than the study of philosophy. WESLEY: But William James won't be in my Starfleet exams. PICARD: The important things never will be. Anyone can be trained in the mechanics of piloting a starship. WESLEY: But Starfleet Academy PICARD: It takes more. Open your mind to the past. Art, history, philosophy. And all this may mean something. Gene Roddenberry
I ate them like salad, books were my sandwich for lunch, my tiffin and dinner and midnight munch. I tore out the pages, ate them with salt, doused them with relish, gnawed on the bindings, turned the chapters with my tongue! Books by the dozen, the score and the billion. I carried so many home I was hunchbacked for years. Philosophy, art history, politics, social science, the poem, the essay, the grandiose play, you name 'em, I ate 'em. Ray Bradbury
Maybe philosophy - I love talking about ideas. Or maybe art history. I was thinking about psychology, then I got really afraid because everybody says it's terribly boring. Claire Danes
Reps once took chances on art, History's most treasured musicians were believed in and cultivated to reach their potential. Today, it would be difficult for those musicians to get deals. Steve Vai
You know, the way art history is taught, often there's nothing that tells you why the painting is great. The description of a lousy painting and the description of a great painting will very much sound the same. Chuck Close
Judy Chicago quote: "I set my sights upon becoming the kind of artist who would..."
I set my sights upon becoming the kind of artist who would make a contribution to art history. Judy Chicago
If I can't find a project that I'm really interested in, I'll just go back to college where I've been studying art history and French. I'm also going to study English and philosophy - the whole curriculum! Emmy Rossum
I taught a lot of art history, especially Chinese, Japanese, and Indian. But the painting classes came back. The nudes came back. Not so much the still lifes. So now our department is the worst department, partly because it has the worst facilities. Ad Reinhardt
