Aesthetic Quotes

So long as we refuse to include lottery tickets among the symphonies, or medical bulletins among the overtures, we must refrain from treating the emotions as an aesthetic monopoly of music in general or a certain piece of music in particular Picture Quote #1

Dryness promotes the formation of flower buds... flowering is, after all, not an aesthetic contribution, but a survival mechanism Picture Quote #1

The language that photography has is a formal language. Any photographer is doing something formal. If it’s formal, then it must be an aesthetic way to communicate Picture Quote #1

My fascination for studies proved highly beneficial, it assisted the development of my aesthetic understanding of chess, and improved my endgame play Picture Quote #1

There are a lot of guys out there with skills who have not contributed to the evolution of the instrument. It’s about more than that... it’s an emotive language, an aesthetic. Skill is an aspect, but it’s what you do with that skill, or say with that skill, that matters Picture Quote #1

A product is bought to be used. It has to satisfy certain criteria, not only functional, but also psychological and aesthetic. Good design emphasizes the usefulness of a product whilst disregarding anything that could possibly detract from it Picture Quote #1

A game may be as integral to a culture, as true an object of human aesthetic appreciation, as admirable a product of creativity as a folk art or a style of music; and, as such, it is quite as worthy of study Picture Quote #1

In architecture and interiors, as well as fashion, there is an interaction that is both functional and aesthetic Picture Quote #1

Good design is a great combination of common sense, unusual imagination, clarity of purpose–with a prerequisite knowledge of structure, values, color, aesthetic insight and a deep reverence for the love of life Picture Quote #1

Footballers today are forced to conform to a bodily aesthetic that in its rigidity and uniformity makes fashion models look as varied as snowflakes. This wasn’t always so. Up until the 1980s most teams in all divisions had a couple of fat ones, a couple of little ones, at least one bandy one, one completely covered in hair, two weaklings and a chap with no neck. This was an era when you didn’t need names on the backs of shirts in order to tell who’s who, you could clearly identify them with your eyes half shut from the other side of the pitch Picture Quote #1

The chasm between the beauty and seriousness of the work, and what it has become, has overwhelmed me. The commercialization has reduced the aesthetic and philosophical impact of the creation to nothing. There is only one solution for me: to turn my head away Picture Quote #1

I have no particular interest in antiquities or antiques, but I like things to meet a certain aesthetic Picture Quote #1

Surrealism, n. Pure psychic automatism, by which it is intended to express, whether verbally or in writing, or in any other way, the real process of thought. Thought’s dictation, free from any control by the reason, independent of any aesthetic or moral preoccupation Picture Quote #1

Of course it would depend on the project, but I don’t think I could ever separate myself from my aesthetic Picture Quote #1

My impulse is to create an aesthetic that’s about a humanistic approach to a world and trying to create compassion for all the characters Picture Quote #1

Dramas need to have a certain aesthetic that comedy just doesn’t really seem to need to have Picture Quote #1

We must give as much weight to the arousal of the emotions and to the expression of moral and aesthetic values as we now give to science, to invention, to practical organization. One without the other is impotent Picture Quote #1

I thought to discourage aesthetics... I threw the bottlerack and the urinal in their faces and now they admire them for their aesthetic beauty Picture Quote #1

The changing styles are the expression of a restless search for something which shall commend itself to our aesthetic sense; but as each innovation is subject to the selective action of the norm of conspicuous waste, the range within which innovation can take place is somewhat restricted. The innovation must not only be more beautiful, or perhaps oftener less offensive, than that which it displaces, but it must also come up to the accepted standard of expensiveness Picture Quote #1

Without an allegiance to beauty, art degenerates into a caricature of itself. It is beauty that animates aesthetic experience, making it so seductive; but aesthetic experience itself degenerates into a kind of fetish or idol if it is held up as an end in itself, untested by the rest of life Picture Quote #1

There is a case for saying that the creation of new aesthetic forms has been the most fundamentally productive of all forms of human activity. Whoever creates new artistic conventions has found methods of interchange between people about matters which were incommunicable before. The capacity to do this has been the basis of the whole of human history Picture Quote #1

The painter doesn’t try to reproduce the scene before him... he simplifies and eliminates until he knows exactly what stirred him, sets this down in color and line as simply and as powerfully as possible and so translates his impression into an aesthetic emotion Picture Quote #1

There is an aesthetic excitement about painting which is one of the most beautiful experiences that can be. Put things down while you feel that joy Picture Quote #1

So long as painting deals with objective nature, it is an impure art, for recognizability precludes the highest aesthetic emotion. All painting, ancient or modern, moves us aesthetically only in so far as it possesses a force over and beyond its aspect Picture Quote #1

Aesthetic pleasure is not to be taken lightly; it’s very important for the spirit and therefore the health Picture Quote #1

I never view aesthetic ideas as having an existence purely of their own but as a function they have in connection with political or moral values Picture Quote #1

My aesthetic is derived from my point of view which is one of optimism and hope. The camera became a conduit for my need to create a more beautiful world around me Picture Quote #1

The subject may be of first importance to the artist when he starts a picture, but it should be of least importance in the finished product. The subject is of no aesthetic significance Picture Quote #1

In aesthetic theory it might be extremely difficult, if not quite impracticable, to draw a line between the canon of classicism, or regard for the archaic, and the canon of beauty Picture Quote #1

Artists who have produced experimental innovations have been motivated by aesthetic criteria: they have aimed at presenting visual perceptions. Their goals are imprecise, so their procedure is tentative and incremental Picture Quote #1
