Art

The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.
- Mailer, Norman
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
The artist is the opposite of the politically minded individual, the opposite of the reformer, the opposite of the idealist. The artist does not tinker with the universe; he recreates it out of his own experience and understanding of life.
Miller, Henry

2.
One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
Cocteau, Jean

3.
Martyrdom covers a multitude of sins.
Twain, Mark

4.
There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist's relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist's concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.
Rich, Adrienne

5.
Advice from a veteran trapeze performer: Throw your heart over the bars and your body will follow.

6.
Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.
Alfred North Whitehead

7.
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

8.
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong

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.
Were art to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

11.
The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness, the rigidity, the regularity, the luster on every interior and exterior facet, of the crystal.
Breton, Andre

12.
I do not know what the heart of a rascal may be, but I know what is in the heart of an honest man; it is horrible.
Maistre, Joseph De

13.
The arts are not just instantaneous pleasure -- if you don't like it, the artist is wrong. I belong to the generation which says if you don't like it, you don't understand and you ought to find out.
Drummond, John

14.
Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.
Barenboim, Daniel

15.
Any artist should be grateful for a na?ve grace which puts him beyond the need to reason elaborately.
Bellow, Saul

16.
With an apple I will astonish Paris.
Cezanne, Paul

17.
Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

18.
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
Schumann, Robert

19.
Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use.
Castaneda, Carlos

20.
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.

21.
If your heart were sincere and upright, every creature would be unto you a looking-glass of life and a book of holy doctrine.
Kempis, Thomas

22.
Often while reading a book one feels that the author would have preferred to paint rather than write; one can sense the pleasure he derives from describing a landscape or a person, as if he were painting what he is saying, because deep in his heart he would have preferred to use brushes and colors.
Picasso, Pablo

23.
Man is always partial and is quite right to be. Even impartiality is partial.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

24.
Let each man exercise the art he knows.
Aristophanes

25.
Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature's monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish. Everything would break up in chaos. There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere.
Apollinaire, Guillaume

26.
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

27.
Whether a party can have much success without a woman present I must ask others to decide, but one thing is certain, no party is any fun unless seasoned with folly.
Erasmus, Desiderius

28.
A Great man is he who does not lose his childlike heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)

29.
What is art but life upon the larger scale, the higher. When, graduating up in a spiral line of still expanding and ascending gyres, it pushes toward the intense significance of all things, hungry for the infinite?
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

30.
The function of art is to make that understood which in the form of argument would be incomprehensible.
Brancusi, Constantin

31.
Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
Einstein, Albert

32.
Each of the arts whose office is to refine, purify, adorn, embellish and grace life is under the patronage of a muse, no god being found worthy to preside over them.
Farnham, Eliza

33.
What I dream of is an art of balance.
Henri Matisse

34.
The heart is the best reflective thinker.
Phillips, Wendell

35.
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Gide, Andre

36.
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.

37.
The idea of a mass audience was really an invention of the Industrial Revolution.
David Cronenberg

38.
Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman.
Apollinaire, Guillaume

39.
No manager ever won no ballgames.
Anderson, Sparky

40.
We are not here to triumph by fighting, by strata gem, or by resistance, not to fight with beasts as men. We have fought the beast and have conquered. We have only to conquer now,by suffering. This is the easier victory.
Eliot, T. S.

41.
Wherever art appears, life disappears.
Picabia, Francis

42.
Art is so wonderfully irrational, exuberantly pointless, but necessary all the same. Pointless and yet necessary, that's hard for a puritan to understand.
Grass, Gunther

43.
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
Warhol, Andy

44.
Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.
Sand, George

45.
It is either easy or impossible.
Dali, Salvador

46.
The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.
Huxley, Aldous

47.
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Renoir, Pierre Auguste

48.
If that's art, I'm a Hottentot!
Truman, Harry S

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.
Making social comment is an artificial place for an artist to start from. If an artist is touched by some social condition, what the artist creates will reflect that, but you can't force it.
Lewitzky, Bella
