Quotations regarding 'Aesthetics'

Choose a letter: 
I've handled colour as a man should behave. You may conclude that I consider ethics and aesthetics as one.
Josef Albers, German Artist (1888-1976)
At one of the annual conventions of the American Society for Aesthetics much confusion arose when the Society for Anesthetics met at the same time in the same hotel.
Rudolf Arnheim, German Artist (1904-2007)
When applied to politics and taken to its extreme, kitsch is the mask of death. Fascism was all aesthetics. There was no core principle to it. There was no truth to it.
John Cusack, American Actor (1966-  )
The film's dramatic requirements should always take precedence over the mere aesthetics of editing.
Edward Dmytryk, American Director (1908-1999)
Buildings designed with careful attention to aesthetics arouse and enlighten their occupants and that promotes their good health.
Robert Evans, American Director (1930-  )
Let architects sing of aesthetics that bring Rich clients in hordes to their knees; Just give me a home, in a great circle dome Where stresses and strains are at ease.
R. Buckminster Fuller, American Inventor (1895-1983)
The course hitherto pursued in musical aesthetics has nearly always been hampered by the false assumption that the object was not so much to inquire into what is beautiful in music as to describe the feelings which music awakens.
Eduard Hanslick, German Writer (1825-1904)
Well, I've always been interested in approaching a big city in a train, and I can't exactly describe the sensations, but they're entirely human and perhaps have nothing to do with aesthetics.
Edward Hopper, American Artist (1882-1967)
Nothing is beautiful, only man: on this piece of naivete rests all aesthetics, it is the first truth of aesthetics. Let us immediately add its second: nothing is ugly but degenerate man - the domain of aesthetic judgment is therewith defined.
Friedrich Nietzsche, German Philosopher (1844-1900)
Today each composer is not only involved in aesthetics, but he's actually trying to create his own language.
Leo Ornstein, American Composer (1892-2002)
But aesthetics is not religion, and the origins of religion lie somewhere completely different. They lie anyway, these roses smell too sweet and the deep roar of the breaking waves is too splendid, to do justice to such weighty matters now.
Rudolf Otto, German Theologian (1869-1937)
Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers... What we call art is a game.
Octavio Paz, Mexican Poet (1914-1998)
This required the development of a view which allowed one to integrate research with belief, thing with person, fact with aesthetics, knowledge with application of knowledge.
Kenneth L. Pike, American Sociologist (1912-2000)
So begins a question which has of late become more and more urgent: what is the relation of aesthetics to politics?
Mark Poster, -
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, American Designer (1914-1996)
I like the aesthetics of the Church.
Andres Serrano, American Photographer (1950-  )
Leonardo Da Vinci combined art and science and aesthetics and engineering, that kind of unity is needed once again.
Ben Shneiderman, American Scientist (1947-  )
Don't talk to me about aesthetics or tradition. Talk to me about what sells and what's good right now. And what the American people like is to think the underdog still has a chance.
George Steinbrenner, American Businessman (1930-2010)
There's no particular evidence that any of the lower mammals or any of the other animals have any interest in aesthetics at all. But Homo sapiens does, always has and always will.
Jock Sturges, American Photographer
There's only so much you can do until you get on set and see the aesthetics of what you're dealing with. Then you see what the other players are giving to you. It's all about the transfer of energy between different actors.
Karl Urban, New Zealander Actor (1972-  )
