When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.

Paul Cezanne

Art requires philosophy, just as philosophy requires art. Otherwise, what would become of beauty?

Paul Gauguin

The perfection of art is to conceal art.

Quintilian

Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion. Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.

Remy de Gourmont

He that desireth to acquire any art or science seeketh first those means by which that art or science is obtained. If we ought to do so in things natural and earthly, how much more then in spiritual?

Robert Barclay

It is the glory and good of Art, That Art remains the one way possible Of speaking truth, to mouths like mine at least.

Robert Browning

Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art empty.

Saint Augustine

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

Samuel Johnson

Art never improves, but... the material of art is never quite the same.

T. S. Eliot

What thou art, that thou art.

Thomas a Kempis

It's as interesting and as difficult to say a thing well as to paint it. There is the art of lines and colours, but the art of words exists too, and will never be less important.

Vincent van Gogh

The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters is simplicity: nothing is better than simplicity.

Walt Whitman

Music is God's gift to man, the only art of Heaven given to earth, the only art of earth we take to Heaven.

Walter Savage Landor

The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.

William James

If thou art rich, thou art poor, for like an ass whose back with ingots bows, thou bearest thy heavy riches but a journey, and death unloads thee.

William Shakespeare

Sermon

Ron Love

... had gathered Francis said, “Pietro Bernardone is no longer my father.

Sermon

Will Willimon

... to God as Jesus could cry out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Where are you, God? Isaiah laments, "Truly thou art a God who hiddest thyself."(Isa. 54:15) "If God really exists, why in heaven's name does God not prove that he exists ... , even my best actions are tainted with self-interest. Confronted with the great gulf between my humanity and God's divinity, I cry with Isaiah, "Thou art a God who hiddest thyself."

545. What Do You Expect?

John 6:24-35

Sermon

King Duncan

... is not material possessions or recognition or power. What is missing is a sense of meaning to life. Why are we here? Where are we headed? What does it all mean? For many people there is no meaning. This is the message of our art and literature over the past few decades. All art has a message, and it speaks of the times in which it was created. And the message that comes through today loud and clear is, “Something’s missing.” Don’t you sense that about our world today? What is missing is a sense of ...

Luke 6:17-26

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... that image is seared into our hearts at the moment of our birth. We only sometimes need to be reminded of how valuable we truly are. In the Asian tradition, some of the most valuable and expensive pottery is a style of art called kintsugi. In the art of kintsugi, the artist takes broken pottery, ceramic, or bone china and sears the pieces together anew with liquid gold. The resulting patterns are exquisitely beautiful and entirely unique. Each one is different. Each one is an artistic creation. This is the ...

549. Beware! Angels

Matthew 1:18-25

Sermon

Will Willimon

Later come the chubby infantile nudes of Raphael; finally the soft, slim, girlish, and consolatory angels of nineteenth century art, shapes so feminine that they avoid being voluptuous only by their total insipidity --the frigid hours of a teatable paradise. They are a pernicious symbol. In Scripture the visitation of an angel is always alarming; it has to begin by saying 'Fear ...

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... of God on every nation of the world. And he would not stop until he had completed that mission. Chutzpah? For sure. Dangerous? You bet. This is your heritage. This is your savior. Not the milquetoast, sugary sweet, calm guy we often depict in Christian art, but the fiercely determined, street savvy, multi-lingual, disruptive leader of a movement that would change the world as people knew it. He would never give up on anyone. He would never stop looking for every single one of God’s lost. Scared of change ...
