Most of us rush around trying to fit everything into our busy lives. There is little time to just sit and think. Sometimes we need to slow down a little and consider the pieces of advice that help us through our days. So, in the spirit of fun and inspiration, here are some of my favorite Art jokes and quotations.
I come from a long line of artists – it’s called the unemployment line.
How many visitors to an art gallery does it take to change a light bulb? Two, one to change it and one to say my four year old could have done that.
“Find out who you are and do it on purpose” Dolly Parton
“Art is art, everything else is everything else” Ad Reinhardt
And last but not least, my favorite quote by one of my favorite artists, Meret Oppenheim. Oppenheim was an early feminist who lived her life breaking rules. She was the muse of photographer Man Ray and posed nude for some of his most iconic photographs. She herself is most famous for her fur lined teacup “ Le dejeuner en fourrure”, owned by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Her quote, which I have written on my studio wall says, “It is the duty of a woman to lead a life that expresses her disbelief in the validity of the taboos which have been imposed upon her kind for thousands of years.” Words to live by!
