This quote is derived from Cesar A. Cruz's work titled 'To Comfort The Disturbed, and to Disturb the Comfortable: Onward children of the sun.'
It is believed that Banksy is related to the quote above in relation to art.
I think that this is a very powerful sentence and i love the way it basically describes that art is something of an eye-opener to people that believe that they live in an 'ideal' world.
Personally i think that some of the best concepts are to show people and make them think about the things they normally turn a blind eye to.
I also think that the part about comforting the disturbed is very powerful as i think that using art at something to express ones own emotions is very effective.
- Edgar Degas
This is another quote which is pretty relevant to the previous one. The message is mainly about opinion and about concept in an artists work.
I think that art is showing a message, whether its societal issues, current issues or ongoing problems such as war, racism, sexism ect.
It also related to the physical subject and how it may not be always aesthetically pleasing or it may be a magnificent art piece but it is essentially valueless as it doesn't have a clear message or mean anything to the viewer.
