Jean Cocteau
-
Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.
-
An artist cannot speak about his art any more than a plant can discuss horticulture.
-
Emotion resulting from a work of art is only of value when it is not obtained by sentimental blackmail.
-
Film will only became an art when its materials are as inexpensive as pencil and paper.
-
Art is a marriage of the conscious and the unconscious.
