Best Quotes about Art
The people who make art their business are mostly impostors.
Picasso, Pablo
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
Keller, Helen
The powerful play goes on -- and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Crowley, Aleister
Balance is the enemy of art.
Eyre, Richard
Don't waste time trying to break a man's heart; be satisfied if you can just manage to chip it in a brand new place.
Rowland, Helen
Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.
Baruch, Bernard M.
The True Artist has the planet for his pedestal; the adventurer, after years of strife, has nothing broader than his shoes.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
An artist is forced by others to paint out of his own free will.
Kooning, Willem De
Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.
West, Rebecca
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
Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.
Sand, George
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
The more a man cultivates the arts the less he fornicates. A more and more apparent cleavage occurs between the spirit and the brute.
Baudelaire, Charles
If you were in a burning house and there was a cat and a Rembrandt, what would you save? The cat...you would save the cat, because the cat is alive. The art is dead. It's just paint on a canvas, ink on a page. To live for art is to deny life. It's just to destroy life.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.
Frida Kahlo
The contemporary thing in art and literature is the thing which doesn't make enough difference to the people of that generation so that they can accept it or reject it.
Stein, Gertrude
The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.
Pope, Alexander
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
Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.
Miller, Henry
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
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
Art -- the one achievement of Man which has made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised.
Thurber, James
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.
Their is a road from the eye to heart that does not go through the intellect.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
I am as content to die for God's eternal truth on the scaffold as in any other way.
Brown, John Mason
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
Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake.
E. M. Forster
Life isn't long enough for love and art.
W. Somerset Maugham
Is there not an art, a music, and a stream of words that shalt be life, the acknowledged voice of life?
Wordsworth, William
Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.
The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art is merely romantic fiction. The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened.
Wolfe, Thomas
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
Andre Gide
It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to the feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.
Gogh, Vincent Van
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
In every veil you see, the Divine Beauty is concealed, making every heart a slave to him. In love to him the heart finds its life; in desire for him the soul finds its happiness. The heart which loves a fair one here, though it knows it not, is really his lover.
Jami
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
A primary function of art and thought is to liberate the individual from the tyranny of his culture in the environmental sense and to permit him to stand beyond it in an autonomy of perception and judgment.
Trilling, Lionel
Art, that great undogmatized church.
Key, Ellen
There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.
Frost, Robert
Creative work is play. It is free speculation using materials of one's chosen form.
Stephen Nachmanovitch
There is in fact no such thing as art for art's sake, art that stands above classes, art that is detached from or independent of politics. Proletarian literature and art are part of the whole proletarian revolutionary cause.
Zedong, Mao
Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood -- never.
Camus, Albert
You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own.
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The creative artist seems to be almost the only kind of man that you could never meet on neutral ground. You can only meet him as an artist. He sees nothing objectively because his own ego is always in the foreground of every picture.
Chandler, Raymond
Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.
Barenboim, Daniel
I say that good painters imitated nature; but that bad ones vomited it.
Miguel de Cervantes
Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
