杜布菲（Jean Dubuffet, 1901-1985）
法國當代藝術大師級畫家、雕刻家和版畫家，第二次世界大戰後巴黎畫派的主將。首先利用廢棄物從事創作，1940年代末形成自己的風格，稱為原生藝術（Art Brut），強調揚棄傳統藝術形式，以發自內心的原始欲望及直覺來進行創作。杜氏不以抽象或具象來歸類其作品，一般藝術史將他歸類於「無形式主義」。作品有《地下鐵》、《貴婦的身軀》等。
● 對我來說，瘋狂反是超級理智。正常人個個頭腦不清；正常，意味著缺乏想像、缺乏創意。
For me, insanity is super sanity. The normal is psychotic. Normal means lack of imagination, lack of creativity.
● 藝術是訴求於心靈，而非眼睛。原始人類一直就是如此看待藝術，而他們是對的。藝術是一種語言、知識的工具、溝通的工具。
Art addresses itself to the mind, and not to the eyes. It has always been considered in this way by primitive peoples, and they are right. Art is a language, instrument of knowledge, instrument of communication.
● 藝術不會躺在鋪好的床上；一有人提到它的名字，它馬上開溜。藝術喜歡隱姓埋名，它的最好時光，就在它忘記自己的稱呼之時。
Art does not lie down on the bed that is made for it; it runs away as soon as one says its name; it loves to be incognito. Its best moments are when it forgets what it is called.
● 藝術是人類能力所及的盡情宣洩。
Art is the most passionate orgy within man’s grasp.
● 我個人非常相信野蠻的價值；我所指的是：直覺、激情、情緒、暴力、瘋狂。
Personally, I believe very much in values of savagery; I mean: instinct, passion, mood , violence, madness.
● 我期待在任何一件藝術作品上，看到的是令我驚奇的東西，它要違反我對事物通常的評量，代之以其他意想不到的角度。
What I expect from any work of art is that it surprises me, that it violates my customary valuations of things and offers me other, unexpected ones.
● 藝術必須讓你感到有點好笑，同時感到有點害怕，只要不讓你厭煩，無所不可。
Art must make you laugh a little and make you a little afraid. Anything as long as it doesn't bore.
● 讓我們揚棄過去，以及過去的一切！讓我們從事藝術創作，好像人類從未創作過那樣。
Let us abolish the past, and all that comes with it! And let us make art as if no human being had ever made it before.

波洛克（Jackson Pollock, 1912-1956）
美國畫家，抽象表現主義運動的領航者，對現代西方藝術的發展有重大影響。抽象表現主義在美國是以行動繪畫的形式著稱，波洛克所發展的「滴畫技法」，成為波氏戛戛獨造的創作標記。作品有《鳥》、《男人與女人》、《祕密的捍衛者》、《肖像與夢境》、《復活節與圖騰》、《陰暗海洋》、《深》、《白光》和《芳香》等。
● 在我看來，現代藝術家就是在營造與表現一個內在的世界，換言之，乃在表現其活力、動向以及其他的內在力量。
The modern artist, it seems to me, is working and expressing an inner world, in other words–expressing the energy, the motion and other inner forces.
● 只要有訊息傳達，顏料如何塗抹，並無多大關係。技巧只是表述的一種方法而已。
It doesn't make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.
● 繪畫是自我發現，優秀的藝術家個個都能畫出自己是怎樣的人。
Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.
● 抽象畫是抽象的，與你相沖。不久前有一位評論家寫說，我的畫無始亦無終，他無意恭維我，但那卻是一種恭維。
Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you. There was a reviewer a while back who wrote that my pictures didn’t
have any beginning or any end. He didn’t mean it as a compliment, but it was.
● 我在作畫時，並不清楚自己在做什麼。只有在經過一段熟悉期之後，我才能看出一個所以然來。我並不害怕改變，因為畫作有其本身的生命。
When I’m painting, I’m not aware of what I’m doing. It’s
only after a get acquainted period that I see what I’ve been about. I’ve no fears about making changes for the painting has a life of its own.
● 在地板上，我更感到自在，我感覺更接近、更屬於那張畫，因為這樣子我可以繞著畫走，從四邊工作，簡直就是人在畫中。
On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting.
● 現代畫家是用空間與時間來創作，表達的是其感情，而不是在從事圖解。
The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.
● 這種陌生感終會消除，我想我們會發現現代藝術的深層意義。
The strangeness will wear off and I think we will discover the deeper meanings in modern art.
● 在回答提問：「你怎麼知道何時才算完成畫作？」波洛克答說：「你怎麼知道何時結束做愛？」
In response to the question “How do you know when you're finished?”, Pollock replied “How do you know when you're finished making love?”

黛安阿巴斯（Diane Arbus, 1923-1971）
美國新紀實攝影最重要的旗手，也是20世紀公認的攝影大師，慣將畸形人、變性人、流浪漢、同性戀者、裸體主義者、智障者等社會邊緣人納入鏡頭，作為創作的主題來進行探索。她是美國第一位參加威尼斯藝術雙年展的攝影家，被藝壇推崇為攝影界的「梵谷」，一生追求「不正常」的影像，最終以自殺結束其如日中天的攝影生命。
● 一張照片是一則有關祕密的祕密，它告訴你的愈多，你知道的愈少。
A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.
● 我從未拍出我原想拍出的照片，它們不是較好就是較壞。
I never have taken a picture I've intended. They're always better or worse.
● 我工作起來每每手忙腳亂，我的意思是我不喜歡安排事物，我若站在某樣東西前面，我不會去安排它，而是安排自己。
I work from awkwardness. By that I mean I don't like to arrange things. If I stand in front of something, instead of arranging it, I arrange myself.
● 愛情涉及一種「瞭解」與「誤解」的奇妙結合。
Love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding.
● 你在街上看到某人，情不自禁的，你所注意到的就是其缺陷。
You see someone on the street, and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw.
● 我真的相信，有些東西若非我把它們攝影下來，沒人會注意得到。
I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them.
● 不管你內心如何感覺，一定要努力表現得像贏家，就算你已落後，一種泰然自若與信心滿滿的鎮定神情，會讓你擁有導致勝利的心理優勢。
Regardless of how you feel inside, always try to look like a winner. Even if you are behind, a sustained look of control and confidence can give you a mental edge that results in victory.
● 世界只能靠行動來掌握，而不能靠思考；手是心靈的前哨。
The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.
● 大多數人一生都在怕受到傷害，怪人生來就有其創傷，他們已通過人生的考驗，他們是貴族。
Most people go through life dreading they'll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats.
● 世上沒有比自欺更為順理成章，一個人心有所盼，也就會信以為真。
Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true.

安迪沃荷（Andy Warhol, 1928-1987）
美國藝術家、電影製片人、普普藝術運動的先鋒。擅用通俗詼諧的語言，解構組成生活的元素。他利用照相絲漏版大量製作消費品的圖片，真實反映出美國物質文明的空虛，亦為美國的商業文化開拓了新的疆域。1960年代，沃荷專注於電影製片，作品常被歸為地下電影。從70年代起直至去世，他不斷製作政界及好萊塢名人圖像，也從事廣告繪圖及其他商業藝術計畫。
● 賺錢是藝術，工作是藝術，生意興隆是一切的最高藝術。
Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art of all.
● 普普藝術是給每一個人的，我不認為藝術只應為選定的少數人存在。
Pop art is for everyone. I don’t think art should be only for the select few.
● 繪畫太麻煩，機器較少問題，我願自己是一部機器，我認為人人都應該是一部機器。
Paintings are too hard. Machines have less problems. I’d
like to be a machine. I think everybody should be a machine.
