Ananda Coomaraswamy - From the Art category:
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. (Ananda Coomaraswamy)
Ananda Coomaraswamy - From the Artists category:
The artist is not a special kind of man, but every man is a special kind of artist. (Ananda Coomaraswamy)

Beauty is the attractive power of perfection. (Ananda Coomaraswamy)

Ananda Coomaraswamy - From the Perception category:
From one point of view becoming is a humiliation, and from another a royal procession. (Ananda Coomaraswamy)
Ananda Coomaraswamy - From the Truth category:
Myth embodies the nearest approach to absolute truth that can be stated in words. (Ananda Coomaraswamy)
