They swayed about upon a rocking horse, and thought it Pegasus. – John Keats
Bellerophon Taming Pegasus by Jacques Lipchitz
“Art does not solve problems but makes us aware of their existence.
It opens our eyes to see and our brain to imagine.”

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

Eros
The sense of the world is short,
Long and various the report,
To love and be beloved;
Men and gods have not outlearned it;
And, how oft soe’er they’ve turned it,
‘Tis not to be improved.
“Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.” – John Ruskin

Thomas Hart Benton
“Which painting in the National Gallery would I save if there was a fire?
The one nearest the door of course.” George Bernard Shaw
“The spider is a repairer. If you bash into the web of a spider, she doesn’t get mad. She weaves and repairs it.” ~ Louise Bourgeois

William Blake
