Ananda Coomaraswamy Quotes

Man’s activity consists in either a making or doing. Both of these aspects of the active life depend for their correction upon the contemplative life (that is, the Hero) Picture Quote #1
Art is nothing tangible. We cannot call a painting ‘art’ as the words ‘artifact’ and ‘artificial’ imply. The thing made is a work of art made by art, but not itself art. The art remains in the artist and is the knowledge by which things are made Picture Quote #1
Myth embodies the nearest approach to absolute truth that can be stated in words Picture Quote #1
No creature can attain a higher grade of nature without ceasing to exist Picture Quote #1
The man incapable of contemplation cannot be an artist, but only a skillful workman Picture Quote #1
Beauty is the attractive power of perfection Picture Quote #1

What I have sought is to understand what has been said Picture Quote #1
We have come to think of art and work as incompatible, or at least independent categories and have for the first time in history created an industry without art Picture Quote #1
The artist is not a special kind of man, but every man is a special kind of artist Picture Quote #1
The vocation, whether it be that of the farmer or the architect, is a function; the exercise of this function as regards the man himself is the most indispensable means of spiritual development, and as regards his relation to society the measure of his worth Picture Quote #1
