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.

Industry without art is brutality.

It is only when the maker of things is a maker of things by vocation, and not merely holding down a job, that the price of things is approximate to their real value. . . .

The man incapable of contemplation cannot be an artist, but only a skillful workman.

The artist is not a special kind of man, but every man is a special kind of artist.

No creature can attain a higher grade of nature without ceasing to exist.

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.
