Art

Nothing right can be accomplished in art without enthusiasm.
- Schumann, Robert
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.
Cather, Willa

2.
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
Joseph Chilton Pearce

3.
Every artist writes his own autobiography.
Ellis, Havelock

4.
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

5.
The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.
Franklin, Benjamin

6.
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

7.
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

8.
The heart is the best reflective thinker.
Phillips, Wendell

9.
If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do. He's not a little peripheral figure entertaining rich people, he's really needed.
Hockney, David

10.
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

11.
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

12.
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

13.
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

14.
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

15.
Advice from a veteran trapeze performer: Throw your heart over the bars and your body will follow.

16.
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

17.
Art is too serious to be taken seriously.
Reinhardt, Ad

18.
Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.
Baruch, Bernard M.

19.
In any society, the artist has a responsibility. His effectiveness is certainly limited and a painter or writer cannot change the world. But they can keep an essential margin of non-conformity alive. Thanks to them the powerful can never affirm that everyone agrees with their acts. That small difference is important.
Bunuel, Luis

20.
Drink, and dance and laugh and lie, love the reeling midnight through, for tomorrow we shall die! (But, alas, we never do.)
Parker, Dorothy

21.
Art imitates Nature in this; not to dare is to dwindle.
Updike, John

22.
The creation of art is not the fulfillment of a need but the creation of a need. The world never needed Beethoven's Fifth Symphony until he created it. Now we could not live without it.
Louis I Kahn

23.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the house of entertainment.
Bible

24.
The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.
Jackson Pollock

25.
Modern pictures are, no doubt, delightful to look at. At least, some of them are. But they are quite impossible to live with; they are too clever, too assertive, too intellectual. Their meaning is too obvious, and their method too clearly defined. One
Wilde, Oscar

26.
Labor is the beginning, the middle, and the end of art.

27.
Every artist was first an amateur.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

28.
At every party there are two kinds of people -- those who want to go home and those who don't. The trouble is, they are usually married to each other.
Landers, Ann

29.
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

30.
Life isn't long enough for love and art.
W. Somerset Maugham

31.
Art is parasitic on life, just as criticism is parasitic on art.
Tynan, Kenneth

32.
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise

33.
One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

34.
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

35.
A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants.
Lao-Tzu

36.
In our own hearts, we mold the whole world's hereafters; and in our own hearts we fashion our own gods.
Melville, Herman

37.
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
Warhol, Andy

38.
I know just how frustrating it can be when you're tired and exhausted, but you still want to draw something.
Ward Jenkins

39.
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

40.
I would rather be ashes than dust. I would rather that my spark would burn out in a brilliant blaze than be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
London, Jack

41.
Art has an enemy called ignorance.
Johnson, Ben

42.
Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

43.
What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.
Tagore, Rabindranath

44.
Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.
Barenboim, Daniel

45.
Use your head and your heart, its not everything but its a start.

46.
The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.
Berle, Adolf

47.
Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother's womb.
Arp, Jean

48.
I can't tell you what art does and how it does it, but I know that often art has judged the judges, pleaded revenge to the innocent and shown to the future what the past suffered, so that it has never been forgotten. Art, when it functions like this, becomes a meeting-place of the invisible, the irreducible, the enduring, guts, and honor.
Berger, John

49.
It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters.
Holyfield, Evander

50.
The martyr sacrifices themselves entirely in vain. Or rather not in vain; for they make the selfish more selfish, the lazy more lazy, the narrow narrower.
Nightingale, Florence
