Abstraction Quotes

Do not copy nature. Art is an abstraction. Rather, bring your art forth by dreaming in front of her and think more of creation Picture Quote #1

A bit of advice, don’t copy nature too closely. Art is an abstraction; as you dream amid nature, extrapolate art from it, and concentrate on what you will create as a result Picture Quote #1

I have tried, with little success, to get some of my friends to understand my amazement that the abstraction of integers for counting is both possible and useful. Is it not remarkable that 6 sheep plus 7 sheep makes 13 sheep; that 6 stones plus 7 stones make 13 stones? Is it not a miracle that the universe is so constructed that such a simple abstraction as a number is possible? To me this is one of the strongest examples of the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics. Indeed, I find it both strange and unexplainable Picture Quote #1

Freedom which has genuine meaning is more than a timeless abstraction, more than an absence of restraints Picture Quote #1

It is not that uncommon for the cost of an abstraction to outweigh the benefit it delivers. Kill one today! Picture Quote #1

The increased abstraction in mathematics that took place during the early part of this century was paralleled by a similar trend in the arts. In both cases, the increased level of abstraction demands greater effort on the part of anyone who wants to understand the work Picture Quote #1

Whether a photo or music, or a drawing or anything else I might do-it’s ultimately all an abstraction of my peculiar experience Picture Quote #1

When truth is nothing but truth, it’s unnatural, it’s an abstraction that resembles nothing in the real world Picture Quote #1

There is no interruption between my older paintings and my cutouts. Just that with an increasing sense of the absolute, and more abstraction, I have achieved a form that is simplified to its essence Picture Quote #1

I was not ready for abstraction. I clung to earth and her dear shapes, her density, her herbage, her juice. I wanted her volume, and I wanted to hear her throb Picture Quote #1

In past times when one lived in contact with nature, abstraction was easy; it was done unconsciously. Now in our denaturalized age abstraction becomes an effort Picture Quote #1

No doubt, in complete abstraction one has a feeling of a great shock, if not an explosion, and in approaching the real, one feels health and truth restored Picture Quote #1

I guess I have no motivation to make an abstract painting, even if they sometimes read as abstract. I think, with abstraction, it’s easy to fall into a sort of pastiche Picture Quote #1

If a painting contains no abstraction nor impressionistic elements, it is a kite that will never fly. But if the painting completely breaks the connection between human feeling and the object portrayed, the kite string has been broken. I try to keep the line unbroken Picture Quote #1

The desert is no longer a landscape, it is a pure form produced by the abstraction of all others Picture Quote #1

My work has the abstraction underneath it all now and what I deliberately set out to do down here, for this is the perfect realistic abstraction in landscape Picture Quote #1

Abstraction in photography is ridiculous, and is only an imitation of painting. We stopped imitating painters a hundred years ago, so to imitate them in this day and age is laughable Picture Quote #1

Writing is the hammer and chisel that breaks down the established way of thinking. A concrete event, then an abstraction. An image, then a thought. Finally, writing builds another establishment with the fragments Picture Quote #1

Someone who is incapable of drawing, and cannot master line or colour perspective can always express themselves in some form of abstraction Picture Quote #1

The job of the color photographer is to provide some level of abstraction that can take the image out of the daily Picture Quote #1

There is an amount of abstraction in my movies, and sometimes they don’t really understand it until the film is finished Picture Quote #1

Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot see physically with his eyes Picture Quote #1

Music, first of all, is completely about abstraction, which is exactly what architecture is not. In a way, it has been incredibly constructive to know what true abstraction is. So you don’t fall into the trap of thinking that what you do is abstract Picture Quote #1

Every man has to learn the points of the compass again as often as he awakes, whether from sleep or any abstraction Picture Quote #1

Everything in dancing is style, allusion, the essence of many thoughts and feelings. The abstraction of many moments Picture Quote #1

I’ve always wondered, like, what is so masculine about abstraction? How did men get the ownership over this? Picture Quote #1

True leaders have so much power they are willing to give it away. Power is not a fixed, quantifiable sum; instead it is an unlimited abstraction which grows as it is shared Picture Quote #1

Pure drawing is an abstraction. Drawing and colour are not distinct, everything in nature is coloured Picture Quote #1

Time is an abstraction which, on earth, exists only for the human brain it has evolved Picture Quote #1

So the universe is constantly moving in the direction of higher evolutionary impulses, creativity, abstraction, and meaning Picture Quote #1
