Motivational Quotes
Art
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.

Best Quotes about Art
Great persecutors are recruited among martyrs whose heads haven't been cut off.
Cioran, E. M.
Many bad artists will tell you that art is life. There's a subtle difference however. You can turn your back on art
Twentieth-century art may start with nothing, but it flourishes by virtue of its belief in itself, in the possibility of control over what seems essentially uncontrollable, in the coherence of the inchoate, and in its ability to create its own values.
Alvarez, A.
The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
By the time a partnership dissolves, it has dissolved.
Updike, John
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
Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.
Churchill, Winston
Martyrdom covers a multitude of sins.
Twain, Mark
Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity, the dread of doing what has been done before.
Edith Wharton
What I dream of is an art of balance.
Henri Matisse
Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.
Riding, Laura
Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.
Picasso, Pablo
Impartial. Unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.
Bierce, Ambrose
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
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William
Art is the objectification of feeling.
Langer, Suzanne K.
Art has an enemy called ignorance.
Johnson, Ben
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
Balance is the enemy of art.
Eyre, Richard
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
I say that good painters imitated nature; but that bad ones vomited it.
Miguel de Cervantes
I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.
Duke Ellington
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
I never spend more than one hour in a gallery. That is as long as one's power of appreciation persists.
W. Somerset Maugham
If the Revolution has the right to destroy bridges and art monuments whenever necessary, it will stop still less from laying its hand on any tendency in art which, no matter how great its achievement in form, threatens to disintegrate the revolutionary environment or to arouse the internal forces of the Revolution, that is, the proletariat, the peasantry and the intelligentsia, to a hostile opposition to one another. Our standard is, clearly, political, imperative and intolerant.
Trotsky, Leon
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
Art is a jealous mistress; and if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The way of the world is, to praise dead saints, and persecute living ones.
Howe, Nathaniel
Wealth and want equally harden the human heart, like frost and fire both are alien to human flesh.
Parker, Theodore
Nothing is less in our power than the heart, and far from commanding we are forced to obey it.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
Shaw, George Bernard
Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.
G. K. Chesterton
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
The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it's dead for you.
Wilson, Robert
It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever -- the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.
Lombardi, Vince
The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.
Geldzahler, Henry
Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
Wright, Frank Lloyd
Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul. The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of Artist.
Poe, Edgar Allan
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.
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
It's not your painting anymore. It stopped being your painting the moment that you finished it.
Jeff Melvoin
Art is on the side of the oppressed. Think before you shudder at the simplistic dictum and its heretical definition of the freedom of art. For if art is freedom of the spirit, how can it exist within the oppressors?
Edith Wharton
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker
No manager ever won no ballgames.
Anderson, Sparky
No sheath shall hold what finds its home in flesh.
Proverb
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
If we keep an open mind, too much is likely to fall into it.
Barney, Natalie Clifford
Any artist should be grateful for a na?ve grace which puts him beyond the need to reason elaborately.
Bellow, Saul
