For me, there is very little difference between magic and art. To me, the ultimate act of magic is
to create something from nothing: It’s like when the stage magician pulls the rabbit from the hat. —- Alan Moore
Rabbit sculpture by Dan Ostermiller.
Art
Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.
Voltaire
“I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That’s art to me.”
Maya Lin
They swayed about upon a rocking horse, and thought it Pegasus. – John Keats
Bellerophon Taming Pegasus by Jacques Lipchitz
Statue
This statue was holding their toes
Losing head, arm, and all of their clothes.
Often when I visit a museum
Statues when I see them
Will be missing a head or an arm
And I wonder who would do a statue harm?
Like grave robbers of old
Perhaps there’s a market where body parts are sold.
The living create
The dead donate
