Art

The first mistake of Art is to assume that it's serious.
- Bangs, Lester
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Feminist art is not some tiny creek running off the great river of real art. It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it joy?
Dworkin, Andrea

2.
It is not in life, but in art that self-fulfillment is to be found.
Woodberry, George E.

3.
Ads are the cave art of the twentieth century.
Mcluhan, Marshall

4.
The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
Lowell, James Russell

5.
The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.
Pope, Alexander

6.
In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it.
Fischer, Ernst

7.
Personality is everything in art and poetry.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

8.
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

9.
Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.
Alfred North Whitehead

10.
Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother's womb.
Arp, Jean

11.
With an apple I will astonish Paris.
Cezanne, Paul

12.
What is art but a way of seeing?
Berger, Thomas

13.
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

14.
It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters.
Holyfield, Evander

15.
The artist is extremely lucky who is presented with the worst possible ordeal which will not actually kill him. At that point, he's in business.
Berryman, John

16.
The people who make art their business are mostly impostors.
Picasso, Pablo

17.
If your heart were sincere and upright, every creature would be unto you a looking-glass of life and a book of holy doctrine.
Kempis, Thomas

18.
The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give it up.
Connolly, Cyril

19.
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

20.
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

21.
Wealth and want equally harden the human heart, like frost and fire both are alien to human flesh.
Parker, Theodore

22.
Art is a form of catharsis.
Parker, Dorothy

23.
The arts are not just instantaneous pleasure -- if you don't like it, the artist is wrong. I belong to the generation which says if you don't like it, you don't understand and you ought to find out.
Drummond, John

24.
Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that you live, if you do.
Elizabeth Bowen

25.
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

26.
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
Andre Gide

27.
Charity is in the heart of man, and righteousness in the path of men. Pity the man who has lost his path and does not follow it and who has lost his heart and does not know how to recover it. When people's dogs and chicks are lost they go out and look for them and yet the people who have lost their hearts do not go out and look for them. The principle of self-cultivation consists in nothing but trying to look for the lost heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)

28.
To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

29.
I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it -- on the inside.

30.
Nature is inside art as its content, not outside as its model.
Frye, Northrop

31.
Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.
Anderson, Lindsay

32.
The powerful play goes on -- and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?

33.
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

34.
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
Warhol, Andy

35.
As noble Art has survived noble nature, so too she marches ahead of it, fashioning and awakening by her inspiration. Before Truth sends her triumphant light into the depths of the heart, imagination catches its rays, and the peaks of humanity will be glowing when humid night still lingers in the valleys.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

36.
I say that good painters imitated nature; but that bad ones vomited it.
Miguel de Cervantes

37.
Let each man exercise the art he knows.
Aristophanes

38.
The True Artist has the planet for his pedestal; the adventurer, after years of strife, has nothing broader than his shoes.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

39.
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

40.
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
Midler, Bette

41.
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Crowley, Aleister

42.
Art is the human disposition of sensible or intelligible matter for an esthetic end.
Joyce, James

43.
It is either easy or impossible.
Dali, Salvador

44.
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.

45.
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

46.
Those who write for lucre or fame are grosser than the cartel robbers, for they steal the genius of the people, which is its will to resist evil.
Dahlberg, Edward

47.
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

48.
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

49.
It is a weakness that I lead from my heart, and not my head?
Diana, Princess of Wales

50.
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
