Hank Green
“If you're wondering what the difference is, well fine art is like art that exists for its own sake. The Thing that fine art does is itself. Design is art that does something else. It's more like visual engineering.”
Hank Green, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing

“Magritte presents ordinary objects in impossible contexts. He challenges us to consider our place in relation to the world: our own humanity.”
Liz Rideal, How to Read Paintings
