A Quote by Aeschylus

Necessity is stronger far than art.
The voice of our age seems by no means favorable to art, at all events to that kind of art to which my inquiry is directed. The course of events has given a direction to the genius of the time that threatens to remove it continually further from the ideal of art. For art has to leave reality, it has to raise itself bodily above necessity and neediness; for art is the daughter of freedom, and it requires its prescriptions and rules to be furnished by the necessity of spirits and not by that of matter.
Nothing feebler does earth nurture than man, Of all things breathing and moving.
As far as art's concerned, I probably like modern art more than traditional art.
Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
Travel by canoe is not a necessity, and will nevermore be the most efficient way to get from one region to another, or even from one lake to another anywhere. A canoe trip has become simply a rite of oneness with certain terrain, a diversion off the field, an art performed not because it is a necessity but because there is value in the art itself.
My hands were weak, but I reached them out To feebler ones than mine, and over the shadow of my life Stole the light of a peace divine.
Mediocre art is far worse than bad art. Bad art does not waste our time.
Art is personal, originating from dreams, ideas, neuroses; art is shared, harkening back to the humans around the fire; art imbues pleasure and power by enabling people to know reality...Art is a necessity because it is a way of knowing...Is the need for truth physiological? Art exists out of time...images may be different bu there is always a repetition- a thread.
I believe that architecture is a pragmatic art. To become art it must be built on a foundation of necessity.
We say that necessity is the mother of invention, and no country has more of a necessity to develop clean power than China.
Artists used to argue about art for art's sake versus social realism etc, and now it's like the most dominate argument is related to "art for the market's sake." It's a necessity, somewhat, for some people.
The best introduction by far to representation of the human figure in art. The Nude is a beautifully written work of sophisticated connoisseurship that analyzes art in its own terms rather than imposing strident, politicized categories on it. It outlines the major body types, male and female, in Western art and, via a wealth of illustrations, trains the reader's eye to detect and evaluate proportion. This book reveres art
For whatever be the knowledge which
we are able to obtain of God, either by
perception or reflection, we must of
necessity believe that He is by many
degrees far better than what we
perceive Him to be.

The creation of a work of art must of necessity, as a result of entering into the specific dimensions of pictorial art, be accompanied by distortion of the natural form. For, therein is nature reborn.
