Art

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
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech.
Simonides

2.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the house of entertainment.
Bible

3.
All art is an imitation of nature.
Seneca

4.
No art can be noble which is incapable of expressing thought, and no art is capable of expressing thought which does not change.
Ruskin, John

5.
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
Pablo Picasso

6.
What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.
Jefferson, Thomas

7.
Art is the final cunning of the human soul which would rather do anything than face the gods.
Murdoch, Iris

8.
Why should I buy expensive art when I can make my own.
Piero Milani

9.
Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic.
Ambrose Bierce

10.
On with the dance! let joy be unconfined; no sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet to chase the glowing hours with flying feet.
Gordon, George

11.
Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.

12.
It doesn't matter if people are interested. It's about you taking your stuff and shouting out into the void.
Jadelr and Cristina Cordova

13.
Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.
Adorno, Theodor W.

14.
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)

15.
For the outer sense alone perceives visible things and the eye of the heart alone seeds the invisible.
Saint-Victor, Richard of

16.
Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more -- more unseen forms become manifest to him.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin

17.
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
Andre Gide

18.
It is all very well, when the pen flows, but then there are the dark days when imagination deserts one, and it is an effort to put anything down on paper. That little you have achieved stares at you at the end of the day, and you know the next morning you will have to scrape it down and start again.
Elizabeth Aston

19.
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

20.
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.

21.
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.

22.
Art is the most passionate orgy within man's grasp.
Dubuffet, Jean

23.
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

24.
Feminist art is not some tiny creek running off the great river of real art. It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it joy?
Dworkin, Andrea

25.
Not the glittering weapon fights the fight, but rather the hero's heart.
Proverb

26.
Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.
West, Rebecca

27.
There are in every generation those who shrink from the ultimate sacrifice, but there are in every generation those who make it with joy and laughter and these are the salt of the generations.
Pearse, Patrick Henry

28.
Let each man exercise the art he knows.
Aristophanes

29.
Many bad artists will tell you that art is life. There's a subtle difference however. You can turn your back on art

30.
It is a weakness that I lead from my heart, and not my head?
Diana, Princess of Wales

31.
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William

32.
When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.
Chagall, Marc

33.
The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.
Eliot, T. S.

34.
Art is the symbol of the two noblest human efforts: to construct and to refrain from destruction.
Weil, Simone

35.
Life isn't long enough for love and art.
W. Somerset Maugham

36.
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

37.
You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own.

38.
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

39.
In free society art is not a weapon. Artists are not engineers of the soul.
Kennedy, John F.

40.
The artist belongs to their work, not the work to the artist.
Novalis

41.
Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Capp, Al

42.
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

43.
Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.
Alfred North Whitehead

44.
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Gide, Andre

45.
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

46.
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.

47.
The creative artist seems to be almost the only kind of man that you could never meet on neutral ground. You can only meet him as an artist. He sees nothing objectively because his own ego is always in the foreground of every picture.
Chandler, Raymond

48.
The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it's dead for you.
Wilson, Robert

49.
Art imitates Nature in this; not to dare is to dwindle.
Updike, John

50.
I am more afraid of my own heart than the Pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great Pope, Self.
Luther, Martin
