“The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.”– Abraham Lincoln Related Quotes “Art is not a thing it is a way.”– Elbert Hubbard “Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.”– Ansel Adams “Does art have a future? Performance genres like opera, theater, music and dance are thriving all over the world, but the visual arts have been in slow decline for nearly 40 years. No major figure of profound influence has emerged in painting or sculpture since the waning of Pop Art and the birth of Minimalism in the early 1970s.”– Camille Paglia
