Best Quotes about Art

1.
The artist is a member of the leisured classes who cannot pay for his leisure.
Connolly, Cyril

2.
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

3.
In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it.
Fischer, Ernst

4.
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

5.
Contrary to popular belief an artist is never ahead of his time, but most people are far behind theirs.
Varese, Edward

6.
The artist must conceive with warmth yet execute with coolness.
Winkelmann

7.
Art for art's sake? I should think so, and more so than ever at the present time. It is the one orderly product which our middling race has produced. It is the cry of a thousand sentinels, the echo from a thousand labyrinths, it is the lighthouse which cannot be hidden... it is the best evidence we can have of our dignity.
Forster, Edward M.

8.
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
Joseph Chilton Pearce

9.
It is a weakness that I lead from my heart, and not my head?
Diana, Princess of Wales

10.
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Crowley, Aleister

11.
Art is a private thing, the artist makes it for himself; a comprehensible work is the product of a journalist. We need works that are strong, straight, precise, and forever beyond understanding.
Tzara, Tristan

12.
Art is the objectification of feeling.
Langer, Suzanne K.

13.
The focus should be on the players. I'm here a long time. You can call me in the summer. Our seniors will be gone.
Smith, Dean

14.
A painting in a museum hears more ridiculous opinions than anything else in the world.
Edmond de Goncourt

15.
The more horrifying this world becomes, the more art becomes abstract.
Klee, Paul

16.
The way of the world is, to praise dead saints, and persecute living ones.
Howe, Nathaniel

17.
Art is good when it springs from necessity. This kind of origin is the guarantee of its value; there is no other.
Cassady, Neal

18.
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
Camus, Albert

19.
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

20.
If that's art, I'm a Hottentot!
Truman, Harry S

21.
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

22.
Labor is the beginning, the middle, and the end of art.

23.
A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.
Proust, Marcel

24.
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

25.
Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
Einstein, Albert

26.
Drink, and dance and laugh and lie, love the reeling midnight through, for tomorrow we shall die! (But, alas, we never do.)
Parker, Dorothy

27.
The object of art is to give life a shape. [Midsummer Nights Dream]
Shakespeare, William

28.
The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.
Mailer, Norman

29.
[Abstract art is] a product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Al Capp

30.
You're confusing product with process. Most people, when they criticize, whether they like it or hate it, they're talking about product. That's not art, that's the result of art. Art, to whatever degree we can get a handle on (I'm not sure that we really can) is a process. It begins in the heart and the mind with the eyes and hands.
Jeff Melvoin

31.
It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
Shaw, George Bernard

32.
Creative work is play. It is free speculation using materials of one's chosen form.
Stephen Nachmanovitch

33.
When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it -- a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand -- as a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it is bad art.
Chagall, Marc

34.
The highest problem of any art is to cause by appearance the illusion of a higher reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

35.
Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.
Conrad, Joseph

36.
The great artist is a slave to his ideals.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

37.
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.

38.
In art as in love, instinct is enough.
France, Anatole

39.
Surely all art is the result of one's having been in danger, of having gone through an experience all the way to the end, where no one can go any further.
Rilke, Rainer Maria

40.
Seek not good from without: seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.
Suttner, Bertha Von

41.
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

42.
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Gide, Andre

43.
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

44.
I believe that if it were left to artists to choose their own labels, most would choose none.
Ben Shahn

45.
I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
Orson Welles

46.
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

47.
This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.
Wolfe, Thomas

48.
Art -- the one achievement of Man which has made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised.
Thurber, James

49.
Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.
Baruch, Bernard M.

50.
Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake.
E. M. Forster
