Art

The artist is the child of his time; but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favorite.
- Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
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

2.
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

3.
I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need. [when asked how he managed to make his remarkable statues.]
Rodin, Auguste

4.
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.

5.
Every artist writes his own autobiography.
Ellis, Havelock

6.
The way of the world is, to praise dead saints, and persecute living ones.
Howe, Nathaniel

7.
One thing that makes art different from life is that in art things have a shape... it allows us to fix our emotions on events at the moment they occur, it permits a union of heart and mind and tongue and tear.
French, Marilyn

8.
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

9.
The heart will break, but broken live on.
Byron, Lord

10.
Not everything has a name. Some things lead us into a realm beyond words.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander

11.
Creative work is play. It is free speculation using materials of one's chosen form.
Stephen Nachmanovitch

12.
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

13.
The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
Lowell, James Russell

14.
Why should I go into details, we have nothing that is not perishable except what our hearts and our intellects endows us with.
Ovid

15.
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise

16.
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.
Picasso, Pablo

17.
No art can be noble which is incapable of expressing thought, and no art is capable of expressing thought which does not change.
Ruskin, John

18.
The artist must conceive with warmth yet execute with coolness.
Winkelmann

19.
This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.
Wolfe, Thomas

20.
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech.
Simonides

21.
Art is the symbol of the two noblest human efforts: to construct and to refrain from destruction.
Weil, Simone

22.
Art is the final cunning of the human soul which would rather do anything than face the gods.
Murdoch, Iris

23.
Art is a form of catharsis.
Parker, Dorothy

24.
Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood... will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.
Gandhi, Indira

25.
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

26.
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

27.
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

28.
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
Andre Gide

29.
The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.
Mailer, Norman

30.
Nothing is less in our power than the heart, and far from commanding we are forced to obey it.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

31.
There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.
Frost, Robert

32.
Art -- the one achievement of Man which has made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised.
Thurber, James

33.
The art of creation is older than the art of killing.
Voznesensky, Andrei

34.
I can't work without a model. I won't say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying; but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true.
Gogh, Vincent Van

35.
This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.
Dali, Salvador

36.
Faint hearts never win fair ladies.
Proverb, Danish

37.
Love can heal a broken heart.

38.
Wherever art appears, life disappears.
Picabia, Francis

39.
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

40.
I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it -- on the inside.

41.
Drink, and dance and laugh and lie, love the reeling midnight through, for tomorrow we shall die! (But, alas, we never do.)
Parker, Dorothy

42.
Some people carry their heart in their head and some carry their head in their heart. The trick is to keep them apart yet working together.
Hare, David

43.
We are not here to triumph by fighting, by strata gem, or by resistance, not to fight with beasts as men. We have fought the beast and have conquered. We have only to conquer now,by suffering. This is the easier victory.
Eliot, T. S.

44.
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

45.
The first mistake of Art is to assume that it's serious.
Bangs, Lester

46.
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

47.
The creation of art is not the fulfillment of a need but the creation of a need. The world never needed Beethoven's Fifth Symphony until he created it. Now we could not live without it.
Louis I Kahn

48.
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

49.
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

50.
Art is the most passionate orgy within man's grasp.
Dubuffet, Jean
