No story here. We will just leave you this weekend with art and design quotes – not necessarily from artists and designers; and not necessarily about art and design, at least originally.
A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; While others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before.
Herodotus
Design is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions; there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that’s why it is so complicated.
Paul Rand
It is only after years of preparation that the young artist should touch color – not color used descriptively, that is, but as a means of personal expression.
Henri Matisse
Design is not making beauty, beauty emerges from selection, affinities, integration, love.
Louis Kahn
Recognizing the need is the primary condition for design.
Charles Eames
The proper study of mankind is the science of design.
Herbert Simon
Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.
Arthur Schopenhauer
If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.
Red Adair
