Best Quotes about Art
It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it --just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.
Camus, Albert
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
You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own.
The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world. In this long vigil he often has to vary his methods of stimulation; but in this long vigil he is also himself striving against a continual tendency to sleep.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
In order for the artist to have a world to express he must first be situated in this world, oppressed or oppressing, resigned or rebellious, a man among men.
Beauvoir, Simone De
The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
Henry Ward Beecher
To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
The powerful play goes on -- and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?
Ads are the cave art of the twentieth century.
Mcluhan, Marshall
The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
Lowell, James Russell
The more horrifying this world becomes, the more art becomes abstract.
Klee, Paul
Art has an enemy called ignorance.
Johnson, Ben
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
An artist must be a reactionary. He has to stand out against the tenor of the age and not go flopping along.
Waugh, Evelyn
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
The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.
Berle, Adolf
Nothing is less in our power than the heart, and far from commanding we are forced to obey it.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.
Dali, Salvador
This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.
Wolfe, Thomas
The heart always sees before than the head can see.
Carlyle, Thomas
The first mistake of Art is to assume that it's serious.
Bangs, Lester
Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.
G. K. Chesterton
There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist's relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist's concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.
Rich, Adrienne
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
All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life.
M. C. Richards
In art as in love, instinct is enough.
France, Anatole
It is a weakness that I lead from my heart, and not my head?
Diana, Princess of Wales
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
One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation.
Scott, Sir Walter
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
O, had I but followed the arts!
Shakespeare, William
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Renoir, Pierre Auguste
Creative work is play. It is free speculation using materials of one's chosen form.
Stephen Nachmanovitch
In art there are tears that lie too deep for thought.
Kronenberger, Louis
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Crowley, Aleister
Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
Wright, Frank Lloyd
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
As a general truth, it is safe to say that any picture that produces a moral impression is a bad picture.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De
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
I have joined my heart to thee: all that exists are thou. O Lord, beloved of my heart, thou art the home of all; where indeed is the heart in which thou dost not dwell?
Jafar
No man dies for what he knows to be true. Men die for what they want to be true, for what some terror in their hearts tells them is not true.
Wilde, Oscar
It doesn't matter if people are interested. It's about you taking your stuff and shouting out into the void.
Jadelr and Cristina Cordova
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
Blackie, Professor
The artist belongs to their work, not the work to the artist.
Novalis
Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.
Novalis
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
Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.
Anderson, Lindsay
Advice from a veteran trapeze performer: Throw your heart over the bars and your body will follow.
Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.
Cicero
