If beautiful art does not express moral ideas, ideas which unite people, then it is not art,
But only entertainment.
People need to be entertained in order to distance themselves from disappointment in their lives.
Emmanuel Kant
It is possible to imagine that art could die, but it is not possible to imagine that real art could live if it became a slave of wealth that laugh at the poor.
Art is one of the most powerful means of convincing people of anything, both good and bad; therefore, you must be very careful in its use.
An artist is one of two things; he is either a high priest, or a more or less smart entertainer.
Giuseppe Mazzini
Meditations or discussions about art are the most useless pastime known. Those who really know art know that art can speak can speak well with its own language, and that to speak about art with words is useless.
Most people who speak about art do not understand or feel real art.
