Motivational Quotes

Art

As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn't make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting -- the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.
- Bellow, Saul
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation.
Davis, Angela Y.

2.
The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel.
Piet Mondrian

3.
The greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form, the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public. The conventional is uncritically enjoyed, and the truly new is criticized with aversion.
Benjamin, Walter

4.
Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
Wright, Frank Lloyd

5.
Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

6.
In our own hearts, we mold the whole world's hereafters; and in our own hearts we fashion our own gods.
Melville, Herman

7.
As the unity of the modern world becomes increasingly a technological rather than a social affair, the techniques of the arts provide the most valuable means of insight into the real direction of our own collective purposes.
Mcluhan, Marshall

8.
In art, one idea is as good as another. If one takes the idea of trembling, for instance, all of a sudden most art starts to tremble. Michelangelo starts to tremble. El Greco starts to tremble. All the Impressionists start to tremble.
Kooning, Willem De

9.
Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity, the dread of doing what has been done before.
Edith Wharton

10.
Enjoyed it! One more drink and I'd have been under the host.
Parker, Dorothy

11.
Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

12.
A Great man is he who does not lose his childlike heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)

13.
The heart always sees before than the head can see.
Carlyle, Thomas

14.
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos

15.
Whether you call my heart affectionate, or you call it womanish: I confess, that to my misfortune, it is soft.
Ovid

16.
Every artist writes his own autobiography.
Ellis, Havelock

17.
Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
Einstein, Albert

18.
For the outer sense alone perceives visible things and the eye of the heart alone seeds the invisible.
Saint-Victor, Richard of

19.
Seek not good from without: seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.
Suttner, Bertha Von

20.
I'm the artist formally known as Beck. I have a genius wig. When I put that wig on, then the true genius emerges. I don't have enough hair to be a genius. I think you have to have hair going everywhere.
Beck

21.
Man is always partial and is quite right to be. Even impartiality is partial.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

22.
Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.
Barzun, Jacques

23.
Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Capp, Al

24.
The people who make art their business are mostly impostors.
Picasso, Pablo

25.
[Abstract art is] a product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Al Capp

26.
There is in fact no such thing as art for art's sake, art that stands above classes, art that is detached from or independent of politics. Proletarian literature and art are part of the whole proletarian revolutionary cause.
Zedong, Mao

27.
Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood... will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.
Gandhi, Indira

28.
An artist is a creature driven by demons. He doesn't know why they choose him and he's usually too busy to wonder why.
Faulkner, William

29.
Any artist should be grateful for a na?ve grace which puts him beyond the need to reason elaborately.
Bellow, Saul

30.
Charity is in the heart of man, and righteousness in the path of men. Pity the man who has lost his path and does not follow it and who has lost his heart and does not know how to recover it. When people's dogs and chicks are lost they go out and look for them and yet the people who have lost their hearts do not go out and look for them. The principle of self-cultivation consists in nothing but trying to look for the lost heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)

31.
The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.
Pope, Alexander

32.
Impartial. Unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.
Bierce, Ambrose

33.
Advice from a veteran trapeze performer: Throw your heart over the bars and your body will follow.

34.
What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.
Tagore, Rabindranath

35.
No man dies for what he knows to be true. Men die for what they want to be true, for what some terror in their hearts tells them is not true.
Wilde, Oscar

36.
I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
Kennedy, John F.

37.
In art as in love, instinct is enough.
France, Anatole

38.
The more horrifying this world becomes, the more art becomes abstract.
Klee, Paul

39.
A primary function of art and thought is to liberate the individual from the tyranny of his culture in the environmental sense and to permit him to stand beyond it in an autonomy of perception and judgment.
Trilling, Lionel

40.
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Gide, Andre

41.
One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation.
Scott, Sir Walter

42.
Art is a jealous mistress; and if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

43.
The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs. Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

44.
By the time a partnership dissolves, it has dissolved.
Updike, John

45.
I believe that if it were left to artists to choose their own labels, most would choose none.
Ben Shahn

46.
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker

47.
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

48.
O, had I but followed the arts!
Shakespeare, William

49.
A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.
Proust, Marcel

50.
Art imitates Nature in this; not to dare is to dwindle.
Updike, John
