Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
The artist is a member of the leisured classes who cannot pay for his leisure.
Connolly, Cyril

2.
The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.
Eliot, T. S.

3.
A heart in love with beauty never grows old.
Proverb, Turkish

4.
Some people carry their heart in their head and some carry their head in their heart. The trick is to keep them apart yet working together.
Hare, David

5.
Each painting has its own way of evolving...When the painting is finished, the subject reaveals itself.
William Baziotes

6.
Not even the visionary or mystical experience ever lasts very long. It is for art to capture that experience, to offer it to, in the case of literature, its readers; to be, for a secular, materialist culture, some sort of replacement for what the love of god offers in the world of faith.
Rushdie, Salman

7.
I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscles can split a shield and even destroy life itself but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of man. And until I master this act I will remain no more than a peddler in the marketplace. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on who I call can defend upon its force... my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest day.
Mandino, Og

8.
Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin

9.
For us artists there waits the joyous compromise through art with all that wounded or defeated us in daily life; in this way, not to evade destiny, as the ordinary people try to do, but to fulfil it in its true potential --the imagination.
Durrell, Lawrence

10.
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion --I have shuddered at it. I shudder no more --I could be martyred for my religion --Love is my religion --I could die for that.
Keats, John

11.
Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul. The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of Artist.
Poe, Edgar Allan

12.
An artist is forced by others to paint out of his own free will.
Kooning, Willem De

13.
Fortunately art is a community effort --a small but select community living in a spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the flesh.
Ginsberg, Allen

14.
All art is an imitation of nature.
Seneca

15.
The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

16.
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
Eugene Delacroix

17.
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

18.
I have seen, and heard, much of Cockney impudence before now; but never expected to hear a coxcomb ask two hundred guineas for flinging a pot of paint in the public's face.
Ruskin, John

19.
Twentieth-century art may start with nothing, but it flourishes by virtue of its belief in itself, in the possibility of control over what seems essentially uncontrollable, in the coherence of the inchoate, and in its ability to create its own values.
Alvarez, A.

20.
Where are you searching for me, friend? Look! Here am I right within you. Not in temple, nor in mosque, not in Kaaba nor Kailas, but here right within you am I.
Kabir

21.
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Renoir, Pierre Auguste

22.
It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it --just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.
Camus, Albert

23.
No manager ever won no ballgames.
Anderson, Sparky

24.
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
Henry Ward Beecher

25.
The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

26.
What I dream of is an art of balance.
Henri Matisse

27.
Nothing right can be accomplished in art without enthusiasm.
Schumann, Robert

28.
The heart that truly loves never forgets.
Proverb

29.
The difference between a man who faces death for the sake of an idea and an imitator who goes in search of martyrdom is that whilst the former expresses his idea most fully in death it is the strange feeling of bitterness which comes from failure that the latter really enjoys; the former rejoices in his victory, the latter in his suffering.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

30.
The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences.
Beecher, Henry Ward

31.
Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.
Riding, Laura

32.
Technology adds nothing to art. Two thousand years ago, I could tell you a story, and at any point during the story I could stop, and ask, Now do you want the hero to be kidnapped, or not? But that would, of course, have ruined the story. Part of the experience of being entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision.
Penn Jillette

33.
The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.
Franklin, Benjamin

34.
Is there not an art, a music, and a stream of words that shalt be life, the acknowledged voice of life?
Wordsworth, William

35.
Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Kempis, Thomas

36.
Doubt obscures the true vision of the heart.

37.
Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value-judgments. An artist recreates those aspects of reality which represent his fundamental view of man's nature.
Rand, Ayn

38.
The eyes see what the heart loves. If the heart loves God and is single in this devotion, then the eyes will see God whether others see Him or not.
Wiersbe, Warren

39.
If you were in a burning house and there was a cat and a Rembrandt, what would you save? The cat...you would save the cat, because the cat is alive. The art is dead. It's just paint on a canvas, ink on a page. To live for art is to deny life. It's just to destroy life.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider

40.
The torments of martyrdom are probably most keenly felt by the bystanders.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

41.
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise

42.
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
Midler, Bette

43.
The way of the world is, to praise dead saints, and persecute living ones.
Howe, Nathaniel

44.
Art is merely the refuge which the ingenious have invented, when they were supplied with food and women, to escape the tediousness of life.
W. Somerset Maugham

45.
I know just how frustrating it can be when you're tired and exhausted, but you still want to draw something.
Ward Jenkins

46.
What of us lies in the hearts of others is our truest and deepest self.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von

47.
Martyrdom does not end something, it only a beginning.
Gandhi, Indira

48.
It is the cause, not the death that makes the martyr.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

49.
Art at its most significant is a distant early warning system that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen.
Mcluhan, Marshall

50.
The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure
Baryshnikov, Mikhail
