Art

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
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Whenever, at a party, I have been in the mood to study fools, I have always looked for a great beauty: they always gather round her like flies around a fruit stall.
Richter, Jean Paul

2.
A painting in a museum probably hears more foolish remarks than anything else in the world.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De

3.
All art is an imitation of nature.
Seneca

4.
Art need no longer be an account of past sensations. It can become the direct organization of more highly evolved sensations. It is a question of producing ourselves, not things that enslave us.
Debord, Guy

5.
Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.
G. K. Chesterton

6.
Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.
Burroughs, William S.

7.
Contrary to popular belief an artist is never ahead of his time, but most people are far behind theirs.
Varese, Edward

8.
If I spit, they will take my spit and frame it as great art.
Picasso, Pablo

9.
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
Camus, Albert

10.
The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
Lowell, James Russell

11.
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
Eugene Delacroix

12.
Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Capp, Al

13.
This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.
Wolfe, Thomas

14.
Only conservatives believe that subversion is still being carried on in the arts and that society is being shaken by it. Advanced art today is no longer a cause --it contains no moral imperative. There is no virtue in clinging to principles and standards, no vice in selling or in selling out.
Rosenberg, Harold

15.
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

16.
Seek not good from without: seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.
Suttner, Bertha Von

17.
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

18.
Man is always partial and is quite right to be. Even impartiality is partial.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

19.
The heart always sees before than the head can see.
Carlyle, Thomas

20.
The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

21.
The artist is the child of his time; but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favorite.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

22.
The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.
Eliot, T. S.

23.
Within your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go.
Driscoll, Louise

24.
What of us lies in the hearts of others is our truest and deepest self.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von

25.
The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give it up.
Connolly, Cyril

26.
It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters.
Holyfield, Evander

27.
This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.
Dali, Salvador

28.
Art forms of the past were really considered elitist. Bach did not compose for the masses, neither did Beethoven. It was always for patrons, aristocrats, and royalty. Now we have a sort of democratic version of that, which is to say that the audience is so splintered in its interests.
David Cronenberg

29.
I will soon be going out to shape all the singing tomorrows.
Peri, Gabriel

30.
There is in every human heart Some not completely barren part, Where seeds of truth and love might grow, And flowers of generous virtue flow; To plant, to watch, to water there, This be our duty, be our care.
Bowring, Sir John

31.
Not everything has a name. Some things lead us into a realm beyond words.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander

32.
As a general truth, it is safe to say that any picture that produces a moral impression is a bad picture.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De

33.
The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.
Jackson Pollock

34.
The people who make art their business are mostly impostors.
Picasso, Pablo

35.
Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.
Miller, Henry

36.
Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.

37.
One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
Cocteau, Jean

38.
Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.
Yu Cao

39.
Art is skill, that is the first meaning of the word.
Gill, Eric

40.
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

41.
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

42.
Great art is the contempt of a great man for small art.

43.
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William

44.
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.

45.
The torments of martyrdom are probably most keenly felt by the bystanders.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

46.
Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother's womb.
Arp, Jean

47.
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

48.
Had we never lov'd sae kindly, Had we never lov'd sae blindly, Never met -- or never parted -- we had never been broken-hearted.
Burns, Robert

49.
Art is the objectification of feeling.
Langer, Suzanne K.

50.
Why should I buy expensive art when I can make my own.
Piero Milani
