Art

A painting in a museum hears more ridiculous opinions than anything else in the world.
- Edmond de Goncourt
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
I am as content to die for God's eternal truth on the scaffold as in any other way.
Brown, John Mason

2.
Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

3.
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.

4.
No human beings more dangerous than those who have suffered for a belief: the great persecutors are recruited from the martyrs not quite beheaded. Far from diminishing the appetite for power, suffering exasperates it.
Cioran, E. M.

5.
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

6.
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

7.
The artist is a member of the leisured classes who cannot pay for his leisure.
Connolly, Cyril

8.
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
Camus, Albert

9.
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech.
Simonides

10.
Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.

11.
I believe that if it were left to artists to choose their own labels, most would choose none.
Ben Shahn

12.
By the time a partnership dissolves, it has dissolved.
Updike, John

13.
Art is parasitic on life, just as criticism is parasitic on art.
Tynan, Kenneth

14.
Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.
Alfred North Whitehead

15.
Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.
Yu Cao

16.
In any society, the artist has a responsibility. His effectiveness is certainly limited and a painter or writer cannot change the world. But they can keep an essential margin of non-conformity alive. Thanks to them the powerful can never affirm that everyone agrees with their acts. That small difference is important.
Bunuel, Luis

17.
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

18.
The heart that truly loves never forgets.
Proverb

19.
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
Eugene Delacroix

20.
Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.
Miller, Henry

21.
What is art but life upon the larger scale, the higher. When, graduating up in a spiral line of still expanding and ascending gyres, it pushes toward the intense significance of all things, hungry for the infinite?
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

22.
Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity, the dread of doing what has been done before.
Edith Wharton

23.
Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother's womb.
Arp, Jean

24.
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos

25.
A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.
Proust, Marcel

26.
The eyes see what the heart loves. If the heart loves God and is single in this devotion, then the eyes will see God whether others see Him or not.
Wiersbe, Warren

27.
I would rather be ashes than dust. I would rather that my spark would burn out in a brilliant blaze than be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
London, Jack

28.
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

29.
It is not in life, but in art that self-fulfillment is to be found.
Woodberry, George E.

30.
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

31.
In art, one idea is as good as another. If one takes the idea of trembling, for instance, all of a sudden most art starts to tremble. Michelangelo starts to tremble. El Greco starts to tremble. All the Impressionists start to tremble.
Kooning, Willem De

32.
Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman.
Apollinaire, Guillaume

33.
A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants.
Lao-Tzu

34.
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

35.
Is there not an art, a music, and a stream of words that shalt be life, the acknowledged voice of life?
Wordsworth, William

36.
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

37.
Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.
Riding, Laura

38.
Whether a party can have much success without a woman present I must ask others to decide, but one thing is certain, no party is any fun unless seasoned with folly.
Erasmus, Desiderius

39.
The artist must conceive with warmth yet execute with coolness.
Winkelmann

40.
Were art to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

41.
Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use.
Castaneda, Carlos

42.
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

43.
Wealth and want equally harden the human heart, like frost and fire both are alien to human flesh.
Parker, Theodore

44.
The public history of modern art is the story of conventional people not knowing what they are dealing with.
Motherwell, Robert

45.
Not the glittering weapon fights the fight, but rather the hero's heart.
Proverb

46.
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William

47.
Doubt obscures the true vision of the heart.

48.
Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin

49.
The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

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