Art Libre
We are the vanguard of an assemblage of visionaries and cognoscenti who, through the new cultural zeitgeist of artificial intelligence, strive to elevate and redefine the essence of aesthetic manifestation and the quintessence of cultural milieu.
Our conviction is firmly rooted in the notion that unbridled artistic liberty is intrinsically connected to one’s capacity to convey the most intricate of sentiments, the most profound of concepts, and the rawest of emotions – transcending mere manual dexterity and delving into the emotional articulation that lies at the heart of the human experience.
We posit that AI art represents the ultimate actualization of artistic expression, democratized and unfettered by the constraints of traditional mediums.
In our role as facilitators of this transcendent form, we create a sanctuary for the exchange and acquisition of AI art, empowering and nurturing the flourishing of this new epoch of unshackled creative expression.
“It is the fate of great achievements, born from a way of life that sets truth before security, to be gobbled up by you and excreted in the form of shit.”
Wilhelm Reich, Listen, Little Man!
“Liberty, equality, fraternity, or death; - the last, much the easiest to bestow, O Guillotine.”
Charles Dickens , A Tale of Two Cities
“You had your choice between the cruel Robespierre and the great Danton. You chose cruelty and sent greatness and goodness to the guillotine.”
Wilhelm Reich, Listen, Little Man!
“Little by little, the old world crumbled, and not once did the king imagine that some of the pieces might fall on him.”
Jennifer Donnelly, Revolution
“I have heard it said that Paine borrowed from Montesquieu and Rousseau. Maybe he had read them both and learned something from each. I do not know.”
Thomas A. Edison, Diary and Sundry Observations of Thomas Alva Edison
“Peoples do not judge in the same way as courts of law; they do not hand down sentences, they throw thunderbolts; they do not condemn kings, they drop them back into the void; and this justice is worth just as much as that of the courts.”
Maximilien Robespierre
“The matter on which I judge people is their willingness, or ability, to handle contradiction.”
Christopher Hitchens
“The people may kill, burn, ravage, commit the most frightening cruelties, glorify their hero today and throw him into the gutter tomorrow, it is all the same; the politicians will not cease to vaunt the people's virtues and to bow to their every decision.”
Gustave Le Bon, The Psychology of Revolution
“I will weep with you over the children of kings, provided that you will weep with me over the children of the people.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
“Whoever steps on my neighbor's freedom is stepping on my neck. For my neighbor's freedom, I will fight till death. It is recognizing that the other person at least has as much value as you do.”
Antonio Escohotado
“Market means freedom to produce and freedom to consume. To attack it is to attack the autonomy of the will.”
Antonio Escohotado
“Accepting the vast margin of uncertainty that reality possesses is what it means to be free.”
Antonio Escohotado
“Respecting humanity as such… means keeping coercion to a minimum and allowing each person to be his own master”
Antonio Escohotado
“Speaking of freedom without mentioning responsibility sounds absurd to me. The freedoms we take are the responsibilities we assume”
Antonio Escohotado
“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
“The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.”
― Joe Klaas, The Twelve Steps to Happiness
“Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.”
― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own
“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first.”
― Jim MORRISON
“People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.”
― Søren Kierkegaard
“Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves”
― Abraham Lincoln, Complete Works - Volume XII
“If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.”
― Noam Chomsky
I always thought painting was the highest form of art. What led me to drawing was seeing so much self-important, pretentious, conceptual-type art in university. I wanted to reject that by making quick, fun art.
― Neil Farber
“To say the word Romanticism is to say modern art – that is, intimacy, spirituality, color, aspiration towards the infinite, expressed by every means available to the arts.”
~ Charles Baudelaire
“The truly modern artist is aware of abstraction in an emotion of beauty.”
~ Piet Mondrian
“The art world is the biggest joke going. It’s a rest home for the overprivileged, the pretentious, and the weak. And modern art is a disgrace – never have so many people used so much stuff and taken so long to say so little.”
~ Banksy
“Much of modern art is devoted to lowering the threshold of what is terrible. By getting us used to what, formerly, we could not bear to see or hear, because it was too shocking, painful, or embarrassing, art changes morals.”
~ Susan Sontag
“The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art is merely romantic fiction. The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened.”
~ Tom Wolfe
Art is carried on up and down in immense cycles through centuries and civilizations.”
~ Hans Hofmann
