David Byrne Quotes About Art

• Hay algo en la música que nos impulsa a comprometernos con su contexto más amplio, más allá del trozo de plástico en el que se grabó. Parece formar parte de nuestra composición genética que esta forma de arte nos conmueva tan profundamente. La música resuena en tantas partes del cerebro que no podemos concebirla como algo aislado.

  David Byrne

  Arte, Maquillaje, Cerebro

• The arts don't exist in isolation.

  David Byrne

  Art, Isolation

  David Byrne (2012). “How Music Works”, p.257, Canongate Books

• ...if photos can reproduce the world more perfectly than any painter, can capture an instant, a look, a gesture, then what makes a painting good anymore? Painting subverts this subversion of its traditional nature by redefining itself - art is idea, not simply skillful execution. So, a work can be crudely made, or even machine made - but it has to be practically and functionally useless.

  David Byrne

  Art, Ideas, Useless

• It seems almost backwards to me that my music seems the more emotional outlet, and the art stuff seems more about ideas.

  David Byrne

  Art, Emotional, Ideas

  Interview with Keith Phipps, www.avclub.com. September 5, 2001.

• Expresamos nuestras emociones, nuestras reacciones ante los acontecimientos, las rupturas y los enamoramientos, pero la forma en que lo hacemos -el arte de hacerlo- es poniéndolas en formas prescritas o exprimiéndolas en formas nuevas que encajen perfectamente en algún contexto emergente. Eso forma parte del proceso creativo, y lo hacemos instintivamente; lo interiorizamos, como hacen los pájaros. Y es un placer cantar, como hacen los pájaros.

  Ruptura, Arte, Creativo

  David Byrne (2012). "Cómo funciona la música", p. 35, Canongate Books.

• I don't believe that crime, danger and poverty make for good art. That's bullshit.

  David Byrne

  Art, Believe, Bullshit

  "If the 1% stifles New York's creative talent, I'm out of here" by David Byrne, www.theguardian.com. October 7, 2013.

• Music is relegated to an underground, relatively obscure group of listeners. It's partly because of the nature of the medium. With a piece of visual art, you can look at something ugly, brutal and in your face, but it's kind of - there it is. It doesn't take you over in the same way that putting on the music at a certain volume does.
