Albert Einstein
“Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers... What we call art is a game.”
Octavio Paz
“The forms of art are inexhaustible; but all lead by the same road of aesthetic emotion to the same world of aesthetic ecstasy.”
Clive Bell

“The visual vocabulary and aesthetics of the cartoon have influenced graphic artists and advertising style since the 1940s. An example of this in advertising would be Pop Art, and more recently [seen] in the feature film 'Sin City'.”
Will Hipps
“What the computer can do in art and design has turned aesthetics on its head... with the computer, things are not so much created as they are produced, with the producer-director becoming the star and the controlling force of much that was in other hands at other times.”
Nicholas von Hoffman
