Motivational Quotes

Art

Experiment is necessary in establishing an academy, but certain principles must apply to this business of art as to any other business which affects the artistic tic sense of the community. Great art speaks a language which every intelligent person can understand. The people who call themselves modernists today speak a different language.
- Menzies, Robert
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
As noble Art has survived noble nature, so too she marches ahead of it, fashioning and awakening by her inspiration. Before Truth sends her triumphant light into the depths of the heart, imagination catches its rays, and the peaks of humanity will be glowing when humid night still lingers in the valleys.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

2.
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

3.
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
Schumann, Robert

4.
The heart always sees before than the head can see.
Carlyle, Thomas

5.
Often while reading a book one feels that the author would have preferred to paint rather than write; one can sense the pleasure he derives from describing a landscape or a person, as if he were painting what he is saying, because deep in his heart he would have preferred to use brushes and colors.
Picasso, Pablo

6.
I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
Kennedy, John F.

7.
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

8.
One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

9.
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Walt Whitman

10.
Art is the objectification of feeling.
Langer, Suzanne K.

11.
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

12.
Art is the signature of civilizations.
Sills, Beverly

13.
Whether joy or sorrowful, the heart needs a double, because a joy shared is doubled and a pain that is shared is divided.
Ruckett

14.
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

15.
What ever purifies the heart also fortifies it.
Blair, Hugh

16.
It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now.
Ginsberg, Allen

17.
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

18.
Bad artists always admire each other's work. They call it being large-minded and free from prejudice. But a truly great artist cannot conceive of life being shown, or beauty fashioned, under any conditions other than those he has selected.
Wilde, Oscar

19.
Great art is the contempt of a great man for small art.

20.
The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

21.
Whenever, at a party, I have been in the mood to study fools, I have always looked for a great beauty: they always gather round her like flies around a fruit stall.
Richter, Jean Paul

22.
Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.

23.
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
Blackie, Professor

24.
The heart is the best reflective thinker.
Phillips, Wendell

25.
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.

26.
No sheath shall hold what finds its home in flesh.
Proverb

27.
Art is an absolute mistress; she will not be coquetted with or slighted; she requires the most entire self-devotion, and she repays with grand triumphs.
Cushman, Charlotte Saunders

28.
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

29.
The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.
Franklin, Benjamin

30.
Seek not good from without: seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.
Suttner, Bertha Von

31.
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

32.
Love can heal a broken heart.

33.
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

34.
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

35.
Advice from a veteran trapeze performer: Throw your heart over the bars and your body will follow.

36.
Impartial. Unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.
Bierce, Ambrose

37.
I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it -- on the inside.

38.
If I didn't start painting, I would have raised chickens.
Moses, Grandma

39.
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

40.
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
Pablo Picasso

41.
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

42.
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

43.
As the unity of the modern world becomes increasingly a technological rather than a social affair, the techniques of the arts provide the most valuable means of insight into the real direction of our own collective purposes.
Mcluhan, Marshall

44.
O, had I but followed the arts!
Shakespeare, William

45.
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist's way of scribbling Kilroy was here on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.
Faulkner, William

46.
The difference between a man who faces death for the sake of an idea and an imitator who goes in search of martyrdom is that whilst the former expresses his idea most fully in death it is the strange feeling of bitterness which comes from failure that the latter really enjoys; the former rejoices in his victory, the latter in his suffering.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

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.
Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

49.
The public history of modern art is the story of conventional people not knowing what they are dealing with.
Motherwell, Robert

50.
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
