You must forgive me if I seem to dwell too much on her physical aspects but I am an artist, accustomed to studying the physical body.

The true artist is like one of those scientists who, from a single bone can reconstruct an animal's entire body.

The artist looks at an ankle, a calf, a bosom and, in his mind's eye, the clothes drop away and he sees her as she really is.

Her form was silhouetted and with the strong light I could see the outlines of her body, a body that an artist or anyone else would have admired.

But Robert Rauschenberg, the neo-dadaist artist, has collaborated with several of them.

To find a form that accommodates the mess, that is the task of the artist now ''.

In the work of every artist, I suppose, there may be found one or more moments which strike the student as absolutely decisive, ultimately emblematic of what it is all about ; ;

it is particularly the artist ( Tonio Kroger, Aschenbach, Leverkuhn ) who suffers from it.

The person of the artist becomes a final bastion of meaning in a world rendered meaningless by the march of events and the decay of classical religious and philosophical systems.

Following the theme of Incarnation in the Gospels, the Christian artist and critic sees in the most commonplace and ordinary events `` figures '' of divine power and reality.

The artist, unlike the philosopher, is not a removed observer aiming at neutral and rarified high levels of abstraction.

The worthy Mondrian, seeing these pictures, said in a tone of kindly reproof: `` But you are really an artist of the naturalistic tradition ''!!

At Stettin the university-educated artist, who had studied German, was chosen to serve as interpreter and clerk in the office of the Stalag commander.

But when he showed his new figurative pictures to his artist friends of the abstract camp, they paid him no compliments and drew long faces.

This arrangement was for Copernicus literally monstrous: `` With ( the Ptolemaists ) it is as though an artist were to gather the hands, feet, head and other members for his images from divers models, each part excellently drawn, but not related to a single body ; ;

Into the texture of this tapestry of history and human drama Henrietta, as every artist delights to do, wove strands of her own intuitive insights into human nature and -- especially in the remarkable story of the attraction and conflict between two so disparate and fervent characters as this pair -- into the relations of men and women: `` In their relations, she was the giver and he the receiver, nay the demander.

Paula's older brother is Edward Steichen, a talented artist and, for the past half-century, one of the world's eminent photographers.

I explained my state of mind to artist Winsor McCay and to `` Bugs '' Baer.

People think the dress in the picture was lengthened by an artist much later on.

One might argue that the ultimate purpose of literary scholarship is to correct this spontaneous provincialism that is likely to obscure the horizons of the general public, of the newspaper critic, and of the creative artist himself.

Malraux, to be sure, does not abandon the world of violence, combat and sudden death which has become his hallmark as a creative artist, and which is the only world, apparently, in which his imagination can flame into life.

he is far from being a literary hero, yet is a creative artist.

He could no longer build anything, whether a private residence in his Pennsylvania county or a church in Brazil, without it being obvious that he had done it, and while here and there he was taken to task for again developing the same airy technique, they were such fanciful and sometimes even playful buildings that the public felt assured by its sense of recognition after a time, a quality of authentic uniqueness about them, which, once established by an artist as his private vision, is no longer disputable as to its other values.

and we think them largely futile because, for true excellence of accomplishment, every scholar and every artist must cross boundaries of knowledge and boundaries of points of view.
