Select Clive Bell Quotations:
Comfort came in with the middle classes.
Clive Bell We have no other means of recognising a work of art than our feeling for it. Clive Bell Only reason can convince us of those three fundamental truths without a recognition of which there can be no effective liberty: that what we believe is not necessarily true; that what we like is not necessarily good; and that all questions are open. Clive Bell We all agree now - by "we" I mean intelligent people under sixty - that a work of art is like a rose. A rose is not beautiful because it is like something else. Neither is a work of art. Roses and works of art are beautiful in themselves. Clive Bell Art and Religion are, then, two roads by which men escape from circumstance to ecstasy. Between aesthetic and religious rapture there is a family alliance. Art and Religion are means to similar states of mind. Clive Bell There must be some one quality without which a work of art cannot exist; possessing which, in the least degree, no work is altogether worthless. Clive Bell |
