Best Quotes about Art
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Art is a private thing, the artist makes it for himself; a comprehensible work is the product of a journalist. We need works that are strong, straight, precise, and forever beyond understanding.
Tzara, Tristan
The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it's dead for you.
Wilson, Robert
I am more afraid of my own heart than the Pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great Pope, Self.
Luther, Martin
In order for the artist to have a world to express he must first be situated in this world, oppressed or oppressing, resigned or rebellious, a man among men.
Beauvoir, Simone De
Great persecutors are recruited among martyrs whose heads haven't been cut off.
Cioran, E. M.
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
There must be hearts which know the depths of our being, and swear by us, even when the whole world forsakes us.
Gutzkow
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 heart is the best reflective thinker.
Phillips, Wendell
Within your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go.
Driscoll, Louise
Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that you live, if you do.
Elizabeth Bowen
Art is man's expression of his joy in labor.
Morris, William
Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Capp, Al
Art is the only thing that can go on mattering, once it has stopped hurting.
Bowen, Elizabeth
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
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
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.
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.
Pablo Picasso
If we keep an open mind, too much is likely to fall into it.
Barney, Natalie Clifford
It is not in life, but in art that self-fulfillment is to be found.
Woodberry, George E.
A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind.
Ionesco, Eugene
Have thy heart in heaven and thy hands upon the earth. Ascend in piety and descend in charity. For this is the Nature of Light and the way of the children.
Vaughan, Thomas
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
Enjoyed it! One more drink and I'd have been under the host.
Parker, Dorothy
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
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker
What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.
Jefferson, Thomas
All art is an imitation of nature.
Seneca
Love can heal a broken heart.
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
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Walt Whitman
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
Roosevelt, Theodore
The first mistake of Art is to assume that it's serious.
Bangs, Lester
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
Art is the objectification of feeling.
Langer, Suzanne K.
Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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 is born of the observation and investigation of nature.
Cicero
A heart in love with beauty never grows old.
Proverb, Turkish
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
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the house of entertainment.
Bible
A Great man is he who does not lose his childlike heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)
Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.
Picasso, Pablo
In art there are tears that lie too deep for thought.
Kronenberger, Louis
Art is good when it springs from necessity. This kind of origin is the guarantee of its value; there is no other.
Cassady, Neal
In art as in love, instinct is enough.
France, Anatole
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 never spend more than one hour in a gallery. That is as long as one's power of appreciation persists.
W. Somerset Maugham
