Arthur Danto quotes
-
“In my own version of the idea of 'what art wants,' the end and fulfillment of the history of art is the philosophical understanding of what art is, an understanding that is achieved in the way that understanding in each of our lives is achieved, namely, from the mistakes we make, the false paths we follow, the false images we have come to abandon until we learn wherein our limits consist, and then how to live within those limits.”
-- Arthur Danto -
“Whatever art is, it is no longer something primarily to be looked at. Stared at, perhaps, but not primarily looked at”
-- Arthur Danto -
“The Rockwell magazine cover was more a part of the American reality than a record of it.”
-- Arthur Danto
