Motivational Quotes
Art
Have thy heart in heaven and thy hands upon the earth. Ascend in piety and descend in charity. For this is the Nature of Light and the way of the children.
Best Quotes about Art
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
Pablo Picasso
In art as in love, instinct is enough.
France, Anatole
There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.
Pablo Picasso
Nature is inside art as its content, not outside as its model.
Frye, Northrop
Art is on the side of the oppressed. Think before you shudder at the simplistic dictum and its heretical definition of the freedom of art. For if art is freedom of the spirit, how can it exist within the oppressors?
Edith Wharton
Art is good when it springs from necessity. This kind of origin is the guarantee of its value; there is no other.
Cassady, Neal
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
Shaw, George Bernard
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
Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.
Picasso, Pablo
Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.
Cicero
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise
Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Kempis, Thomas
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
There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.
Pablo Picasso
The heart always sees before than the head can see.
Carlyle, Thomas
I will soon be going out to shape all the singing tomorrows.
Peri, Gabriel
O, had I but followed the arts!
Shakespeare, William
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
Where are you searching for me, friend? Look! Here am I right within you. Not in temple, nor in mosque, not in Kaaba nor Kailas, but here right within you am I.
Kabir
What I dream of is an art of balance.
Henri Matisse
Art is a reality, not a definition; inasmuch as it approaches a reality, it approaches perfection, and inasmuch as it approaches a mere definition, it is imperfect and untrue.
Haydon, Benjamin
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
The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Chopra, Deepak
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
Warhol, Andy
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.
Picasso, Pablo
The first mistake of Art is to assume that it's serious.
Bangs, Lester
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.
Conrad, Joseph
We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.
John F. Kennedy
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Renoir, Pierre Auguste
One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
Cocteau, Jean
There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted.
Matisse, Henri
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
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
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
Good art however immoral is wholly a thing of virtue. Good art can NOT be immoral. By good art I mean art that bears true witness, I mean the art that is most precise.
Pound, Ezra
It is more difficult, and it calls for higher energies of soul, to live a martyr than to die one.
Mann, Horace
A heart in love with beauty never grows old.
Proverb, Turkish
It is a weakness that I lead from my heart, and not my head?
Diana, Princess of Wales
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
Henry Ward Beecher
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
In every veil you see, the Divine Beauty is concealed, making every heart a slave to him. In love to him the heart finds its life; in desire for him the soul finds its happiness. The heart which loves a fair one here, though it knows it not, is really his lover.
Jami
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
In our own hearts, we mold the whole world's hereafters; and in our own hearts we fashion our own gods.
Melville, Herman
Contrary to popular belief an artist is never ahead of his time, but most people are far behind theirs.
Varese, Edward
Martyrdom covers a multitude of sins.
Twain, Mark
The heart is the best reflective thinker.
Phillips, Wendell
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
