“Great art picks up where nature ends.” -Marc Chagall.8bf<\/i><\/center><\/p>\n

“One small step for a fractal artist; one giant leap for Fractal Art” -Neil Armstrong.8bf<\/p>\n

“The aim of photoshop filters is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” -Aristotle.8bf<\/p>\n

“What the mass media offers is not fractal art, but entertainment which is intended to be consumed like food, forgotten, and replaced by a new dish.” -W. H. Auden.8bf<\/p>\n

“You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough” -William Blake.8bf<\/p>\n

“A new gadget that lasts only five minutes is worth more than an immortal work that bores everyone” -Francis Picabia.8bf<\/p>\n


“I am become Clickism, the destroyer of worlds” -Robert Oppenheimer.8bf<\/i>
<\/center><\/p>\n

“The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without photoshop filters” -Emile Zola.8bf<\/p>\n

“Good taste is as tiring as good company” -Francis Picabia<\/p>\n

“If we could but paint with the computer what we see with the mind.” -Honore de Balzac.8bf<\/p>\n

“When I judge art, I take my computer monitor and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.” -Paul Cezanne.8bf<\/p>\n

“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of Ultra Fractal.” -Cecil Beaton.8bf<\/p>\n


“Well begun is half done.” -Aristotle.8bf<\/i><\/center><\/p>\n

Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers… What we call art is a game. -Octavio Paz.8bf<\/p>\n

“Photoshop filters produce ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Ultra Fractal, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.” -Jean Cocteau.8bf<\/p>\n

“If you steal from one author it’s plagiarism; if you steal from many it’s synergy” -Wilson Mizner.8bf<\/p>\n

“A fractal formula gives the image structure. An artist gives the image feeling. A photoshop filter destroys both and changes the hue.” -Ragland T. Tiger.8bf <\/p>\n

“Fractal Art is easy when you don’t know how, but very difficult when you do.” -Edgar Degas.8bf<\/p>\n
