Art

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



Best Quotes about Art

1.
There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.
Frost, Robert

2.
It is not in life, but in art that self-fulfillment is to be found.
Woodberry, George E.

3.
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

4.
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion --I have shuddered at it. I shudder no more --I could be martyred for my religion --Love is my religion --I could die for that.
Keats, John

5.
If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come.
Proverb, Chinese

6.
While I do not suggest that humanity will ever be able to dispense with its martyrs, I cannot avoid the suspicion that with a little more thought and a little less belief their number may be substantially reduced.
Haldane, John B. S.

7.
Charity is in the heart of man, and righteousness in the path of men. Pity the man who has lost his path and does not follow it and who has lost his heart and does not know how to recover it. When people's dogs and chicks are lost they go out and look for them and yet the people who have lost their hearts do not go out and look for them. The principle of self-cultivation consists in nothing but trying to look for the lost heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)

8.
Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

9.
Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.
Barzun, Jacques

10.
The art of creation is older than the art of killing.
Voznesensky, Andrei

11.
The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

12.
What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.
Paz, Octavio

13.
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

14.
I suppose no matter what I'm drawing, there will always be some sort of question in my mind about it. A work of art (even cartoon art)is never really finished; it is abandoned.
Brooke McEldowney

15.
You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own.

16.
If the wolf had ever come to our back door, he'd have had to bring a picnic lunch.
Anderson, Bill

17.
Great persecutors are recruited among martyrs whose heads haven't been cut off.
Cioran, E. M.

18.
Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.
Burroughs, William S.

19.
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

20.
Art is the human disposition of sensible or intelligible matter for an esthetic end.
Joyce, James

21.
Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.
Picasso, Pablo

22.
Nothing is less in our power than the heart, and far from commanding we are forced to obey it.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

23.
What is art but a way of seeing?
Berger, Thomas

24.
I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscles can split a shield and even destroy life itself but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of man. And until I master this act I will remain no more than a peddler in the marketplace. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on who I call can defend upon its force... my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest day.
Mandino, Og

25.
A primary function of art and thought is to liberate the individual from the tyranny of his culture in the environmental sense and to permit him to stand beyond it in an autonomy of perception and judgment.
Trilling, Lionel

26.
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos

27.
Enjoyed it! One more drink and I'd have been under the host.
Parker, Dorothy

28.
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

29.
Love can heal a broken heart.

30.
Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin

31.
Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
Wright, Frank Lloyd

32.
Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing --to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

33.
There are in every generation those who shrink from the ultimate sacrifice, but there are in every generation those who make it with joy and laughter and these are the salt of the generations.
Pearse, Patrick Henry

34.
The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Chopra, Deepak

35.
The artist is extremely lucky who is presented with the worst possible ordeal which will not actually kill him. At that point, he's in business.
Berryman, John

36.
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

37.
Much of modern art is devoted to lowering the threshold of what is terrible. By getting us used to what, formerly, we could not bear to see or hear, because it was too shocking, painful, or embarrassing, art changes morals.
Sontag, Susan

38.
In art, one idea is as good as another. If one takes the idea of trembling, for instance, all of a sudden most art starts to tremble. Michelangelo starts to tremble. El Greco starts to tremble. All the Impressionists start to tremble.
Kooning, Willem De

39.
Balance is the enemy of art.
Eyre, Richard

40.
Whether you call my heart affectionate, or you call it womanish: I confess, that to my misfortune, it is soft.
Ovid

41.
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise

42.
As the twentieth century ends, commerce and culture are coming closer together. The distinction between life and art has been eroded by fifty years of enhanced communications, ever-improving reproduction technologies and increasing wealth.
Bayley, Stephen

43.
An artist must be a reactionary. He has to stand out against the tenor of the age and not go flopping along.
Waugh, Evelyn

44.
There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.
Pablo Picasso

45.
It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever -- the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.
Lombardi, Vince

46.
Whatever an artist's personal feelings are, as soon as an artist fills a certain area on the canvas or circumscribes it, he becomes historical. He acts from or upon other artists.
Kooning, Willem De

47.
The greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form, the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public. The conventional is uncritically enjoyed, and the truly new is criticized with aversion.
Benjamin, Walter

48.
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.
Vaughan, Thomas

49.
Fortunately art is a community effort --a small but select community living in a spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the flesh.
Ginsberg, Allen

50.
An artist is forced by others to paint out of his own free will.
Kooning, Willem De
