I think there is a new awareness in this 21st century that design is as important to where and how we live as it is for museums, concert halls and civic buildings.

There really is no such thing as art. There are only artists.
Interpretation
The essence of art lies not in the creations themselves, but in the individuals who create them.
Ernst Gombrich’s quote emphasizes that art should not be viewed as an isolated entity or abstract concept, but rather as a product of human expression and creativity. It suggests that each artist brings their unique perspective and experiences into their work, thereby making the artist the true focal point of what we consider 'art'.
In practice
During a gallery opening, one might say this quote to spark a discussion about the role of the artist in the interpretation of art.

Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
I don't believe a person has a style. What people have is a way of photographing what is inside them. What is there comes out.
If we start putting music out constantly where people don't think no more, people go crazy. We're gonna lose the love of heart, of soul. And if the world lose that, I think the world is doomed.
It is quite cruel that a poet cannot wander through his regions of enchantment without having a critic, forever, like the old man of the sea, upon his back.
I can think of numberless males, from Bonnard to Callahan, who have photographed their lovers and spouses, but I am having trouble finding parallel examples among my sister photographers. The act of looking appraisingly at a man, making eye contact on the street, asking to photograph him, studying his body, has always been a brazen venture for a woman, though, for a man, these acts are commonplace, even expected.
