Quote of the Day, 9/21/06

Today's quotes are about harmony, from the perspective of famous painters. I like this because I went looking for things related to musical harmony, and found canvas instead. For fun, I've linked each artist's name to one of their paintings that I particularly like. I also went with self-portraits for each artist, just for fun.

Vincent Van Gogh

Still, there is a calm, pure harmony, and music inside of me.

Georges Seurat

Art is harmony. Harmony is the analogy of contrary and of similar elements of tone, of color and of line, conditioned by the dominate key, and under the influence of a particular light, in gay, calm, or sad combinations.

Pablo Picasso

The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.
