Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Art is good when it springs from necessity. This kind of origin is the guarantee of its value; there is no other.
Cassady, Neal

2.
Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.
Amy Lowell

3.
Seek not good from without: seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.
Suttner, Bertha Von

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.
The artist belongs to their work, not the work to the artist.
Novalis

6.
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

7.
In our own hearts, we mold the whole world's hereafters; and in our own hearts we fashion our own gods.
Melville, Herman

8.
The heart will break, but broken live on.
Byron, Lord

9.
I never spend more than one hour in a gallery. That is as long as one's power of appreciation persists.
W. Somerset Maugham

10.
Art is a form of catharsis.
Parker, Dorothy

11.
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

12.
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

13.
Humanity is the rich effluvium, it is the waste and the manure and the soil, and from it grows the tree of the arts.
Pound, Ezra

14.
An artist is a creature driven by demons. He doesn't know why they choose him and he's usually too busy to wonder why.
Faulkner, William

15.
Not even the visionary or mystical experience ever lasts very long. It is for art to capture that experience, to offer it to, in the case of literature, its readers; to be, for a secular, materialist culture, some sort of replacement for what the love of god offers in the world of faith.
Rushdie, Salman

16.
Impartial. Unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.
Bierce, Ambrose

17.
The highest problem of any art is to cause by appearance the illusion of a higher reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

18.
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

19.
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

20.
There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.
Pablo Picasso

21.
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

22.
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

23.
Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.
West, Rebecca

24.
This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.
Dali, Salvador

25.
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

26.
If we keep an open mind, too much is likely to fall into it.
Barney, Natalie Clifford

27.
This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.
Wolfe, Thomas

28.
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise

29.
Man is always partial and is quite right to be. Even impartiality is partial.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

30.
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

31.
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
Eugene Delacroix

32.
Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.
Barzun, Jacques

33.
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Crowley, Aleister

34.
Enjoyed it! One more drink and I'd have been under the host.
Parker, Dorothy

35.
Life isn't long enough for love and art.
W. Somerset Maugham

36.
The biggest problem with every art is by the use of appearance to create a loftier reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

37.
Art has never been made while thinking of art.
Niko Stumpo

38.
Faint hearts never win fair ladies.
Proverb, Danish

39.
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong

40.
Advice from a veteran trapeze performer: Throw your heart over the bars and your body will follow.

41.
I don't believe in total freedom for the artist. Left on his own, free to do anything he likes, the artist ends up doing nothing at all. If there's one thing that's dangerous for an artist, it's precisely this question of total freedom, waiting for inspiration and all the rest of it.
Federico Fellini

42.
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.

43.
All great art, and today all great artlessness, must appear extreme to the mass of men, as we know them today. It springs from the anguish of great souls. From the souls of men not formed, but deformed in factories whose inspiration is pelf.
Trocchi, Alexander

44.
Art is skill, that is the first meaning of the word.
Gill, Eric

45.
Nature is inside art as its content, not outside as its model.
Frye, Northrop

46.
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

47.
Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

48.
If you were in a burning house and there was a cat and a Rembrandt, what would you save? The cat...you would save the cat, because the cat is alive. The art is dead. It's just paint on a canvas, ink on a page. To live for art is to deny life. It's just to destroy life.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider

49.
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

50.
Repetition is the death of art.
Robin Green
