Diego Rivera and natural art


Photo source: Wikimedia Commons

Diego Rivera (1886-1957) was a Mexican painter best known for painting murals and his contributions to Mexican muralism. Wikipedia says,
"Between 1922 and 1953, Rivera painted murals in, among other places, Mexico City, Chapingo and Cuernavaca, Mexico; and San Francisco, Detroit and New York City, United States." (Wikipedia: Diego Rivera, 8.16.21 UTC 07:17)
The rest of this post is some quotes from Rivera.

Natural art


"I know now that he who hopes to be universal in his art must plant in his own soil. Great art is like a tree which grows in a particular place and has a trunk, leave , blossoms, boughs, fruits and roots of its own. The more native art is, the more it belongs to the entire world, because taste is rooted in nature." (AZQuotes.com)

Influence


"Every artist who has been worth anything in art has been such a propagandist... Every strong artist has been a propagandist... I want to use my art as a weapon." (AZQuotes.com)

"The artist must try to raise the level of taste of the masses, not debase himself to the level of unformed and impoverished taste." (AZQuotes.com)

Georgia O'Keeffe and the unknown



Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) was an American artist best known for painting nature and flowers. Wikipedia says,
"[O'Keeffe] was known for her paintings of enlarged flowers, New York skyscrapers and New Mexico landscapes." (Wikipedia: Georgia O'Keeffe, 8.18.21 UTC 20:48)
The rest of this post is some quests from O'Keeffe.

Unknown


"Making your unknown known is the important thing - and keeping the unknown always beyond you - catching - crystallizing your simpler clearer vision of life - only to see it turn stale compared to what you vaguely feel ahead  - that you must always keep working to grasp." (AZquotes.com)

"I have been thinking of what you say about form... I feel that a real living form is the natural result of the individual's effort to create the living thing out of the adventure of his spirit into the unknown... and from that experience comes desire to make the unknown known." (Letter to Sherwood Anderson, 1923)

Flowers


"When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not." (AZquotes.com)
