Art

It is a weakness that I lead from my heart, and not my head?
- Diana, Princess of Wales
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
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

2.
Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that you live, if you do.
Elizabeth Bowen

3.
There is only one art, whose sole criterion is the power, the authenticity, the revelatory insight, the courage and suggestiveness with which it seeks its truth. Thus, from the standpoint of the work and its worth it is irrelevant to which political ideas the artist as a citizen claims allegiance, which ideas he would like to serve with his work or whether he holds any such ideas at all.
Havel, Vaclav

4.
Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize.
Kael, Pauline

5.
Modern pictures are, no doubt, delightful to look at. At least, some of them are. But they are quite impossible to live with; they are too clever, too assertive, too intellectual. Their meaning is too obvious, and their method too clearly defined. One
Wilde, Oscar

6.
Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.
Miller, Henry

7.
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

8.
The first mistake of Art is to assume that it's serious.
Bangs, Lester

9.
Art never improves, but the material of art is never quite the same.
Eliot, T. S.

10.
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

11.
Not the glittering weapon fights the fight, but rather the hero's heart.
Proverb

12.
For the outer sense alone perceives visible things and the eye of the heart alone seeds the invisible.
Saint-Victor, Richard of

13.
It is the cause, not the death that makes the martyr.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

14.
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

15.
I will soon be going out to shape all the singing tomorrows.
Peri, Gabriel

16.
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.

17.
Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Capp, Al

18.
The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it's dead for you.
Wilson, Robert

19.
What better way to prove that you understand a subject than to make money out of it?
Rosenberg, Harold

20.
The heart always sees before than the head can see.
Carlyle, Thomas

21.
I never spend more than one hour in a gallery. That is as long as one's power of appreciation persists.
W. Somerset Maugham

22.
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos

23.
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

24.
In art there are tears that lie too deep for thought.
Kronenberger, Louis

25.
I am an artist I am here to live out loud.
Zola, Emile

26.
Impartial. Unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.
Bierce, Ambrose

27.
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

28.
The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
Lowell, James Russell

29.
Nothing is less in our power than the heart, and far from commanding we are forced to obey it.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

30.
The primary distinction of the artist is that he must actively cultivate that state which most men, necessarily, must avoid: the state of being alone.
Baldwin, James

31.
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
Shaw, George Bernard

32.
Repetition is the death of art.
Robin Green

33.
Art has an enemy called ignorance.
Johnson, Ben

34.
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William

35.
Wherever art appears, life disappears.
Picabia, Francis

36.
The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Chopra, Deepak

37.
Creative work is play. It is free speculation using materials of one's chosen form.
Stephen Nachmanovitch

38.
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.

39.
No sheath shall hold what finds its home in flesh.
Proverb

40.
Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity, the dread of doing what has been done before.
Edith Wharton

41.
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

42.
We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.
John F. Kennedy

43.
The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure
Baryshnikov, Mikhail

44.
The artist is a member of the leisured classes who cannot pay for his leisure.
Connolly, Cyril

45.
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

46.
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

47.
Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence. If nobody, including the artist, acknowledges art as a means of knowing the world, then art is relegated to a kind of rumpus room of the mind and the irresponsibility of the artist and the irrelevance of art to actual living becomes part and parcel of the practice of art.
Carter, Angela

48.
The heart will break, but broken live on.
Byron, Lord

49.
Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.
Adorno, Theodor W.

50.
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.
