Artists Speak: Iconic Quotes on Modern Art

Product detailed description

Artists Speak: Iconic Quotes on Modern Art brings together memorable quotations by some of the world's most influential modern and contemporary artists alongside artworks from the collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Featuring voices such as Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Georgia O'Keeffe, Yoko Ono, Ruth Asawa, Charles and Ray Eames and Romare Bearden, the book offers a rare opportunity to experience art through the artists' own words.

Inspired by MoMA's popular Artist Quote Totes, this beautifully designed volume creates a dialogue between image and language. The selected quotations explore creativity, artistic practice, imagination and everyday life – sometimes witty, sometimes profoundly moving, but always revealing the philosophies behind the work.

With its compact format and sturdy board binding, it makes an excellent gift for artists, designers, students and anyone with a love of modern art. Equally suited as a daily source of inspiration or an elegant coffee table book, it is a publication to revisit time and again.
