Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman.
Apollinaire, Guillaume

2.
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

3.
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.

4.
Art is too serious to be taken seriously.
Reinhardt, Ad

5.
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

6.
Enjoyed it! One more drink and I'd have been under the host.
Parker, Dorothy

7.
Drink, and dance and laugh and lie, love the reeling midnight through, for tomorrow we shall die! (But, alas, we never do.)
Parker, Dorothy

8.
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong

9.
An artist must be a reactionary. He has to stand out against the tenor of the age and not go flopping along.
Waugh, Evelyn

10.
Art is a form of catharsis.
Parker, Dorothy

11.
Had we never lov'd sae kindly, Had we never lov'd sae blindly, Never met -- or never parted -- we had never been broken-hearted.
Burns, Robert

12.
Wealth and want equally harden the human heart, like frost and fire both are alien to human flesh.
Parker, Theodore

13.
Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood -- never.
Camus, Albert

14.
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos

15.
Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.
Picasso, Pablo

16.
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

17.
I say that good painters imitated nature; but that bad ones vomited it.
Miguel de Cervantes

18.
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

19.
Art is merely the refuge which the ingenious have invented, when they were supplied with food and women, to escape the tediousness of life.
W. Somerset Maugham

20.
The heart will break, but broken live on.
Byron, Lord

21.
Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.
Anderson, Lindsay

22.
Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more -- more unseen forms become manifest to him.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin

23.
The public history of modern art is the story of conventional people not knowing what they are dealing with.
Motherwell, Robert

24.
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

25.
It is not hard to understand modern art. If it hangs on a wall it's a painting, and if you can walk around it it's a sculpture.

26.
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

27.
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

28.
Faint hearts never win fair ladies.
Proverb, Danish

29.
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

30.
The heart always sees before than the head can see.
Carlyle, Thomas

31.
O, had I but followed the arts!
Shakespeare, William

32.
When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it -- a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand -- as a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it is bad art.
Chagall, Marc

33.
Is there not an art, a music, and a stream of words that shalt be life, the acknowledged voice of life?
Wordsworth, William

34.
Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

35.
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise

36.
Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves they have a better idea.
Ciardi, John

37.
A heart in love with beauty never grows old.
Proverb, Turkish

38.
Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.
Ballard, J. G.

39.
Martyrdom does not end something, it only a beginning.
Gandhi, Indira

40.
Within your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go.
Driscoll, Louise

41.
If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently and replace it tenderly in its Master's presence. And even if you did nothing during the whole ofyour hour but bring your heart back and place it again in Our Lord's presence, though it went away every time you brought it back, your hour would be very well employed.
Francis De Sales, St.

42.
Advice from a veteran trapeze performer: Throw your heart over the bars and your body will follow.

43.
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

44.
Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist: Give me leave to do my utmost.
Isak Dineson

45.
One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
Cocteau, Jean

46.
The people who make art their business are mostly impostors.
Picasso, Pablo

47.
If I spit, they will take my spit and frame it as great art.
Picasso, Pablo

48.
I am an artist I am here to live out loud.
Zola, Emile

49.
Art is so wonderfully irrational, exuberantly pointless, but necessary all the same. Pointless and yet necessary, that's hard for a puritan to understand.
Grass, Gunther

50.
Art is man's expression of his joy in labor.
Morris, William
