Best Quotes about Art
Where are you searching for me, friend? Look! Here am I right within you. Not in temple, nor in mosque, not in Kaaba nor Kailas, but here right within you am I.
Kabir
There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.
Pablo Picasso
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
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos
Advice from a veteran trapeze performer: Throw your heart over the bars and your body will follow.
Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.
Godard, Jean-Luc
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
Repetition is the death of art.
Robin Green
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin
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
There is no true expertise in the humanities without knowing all of the humanities. Art is a vast, ancient interconnected web-work, a fabricated tradition. Over-concentration on any one point is a distortion.
Paglia, Camille
I can't criticize what I don't understand. If you want to call this art, you've got the benefit of all my doubts.
Charles Rosin
One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation.
Scott, Sir Walter
Doubt obscures the true vision of the heart.
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
Camus, Albert
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
Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
You're confusing product with process. Most people, when they criticize, whether they like it or hate it, they're talking about product. That's not art, that's the result of art. Art, to whatever degree we can get a handle on (I'm not sure that we really can) is a process. It begins in the heart and the mind with the eyes and hands.
Jeff Melvoin
Faint hearts never win fair ladies.
Proverb, Danish
Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.
Anderson, Lindsay
One thing that makes art different from life is that in art things have a shape... it allows us to fix our emotions on events at the moment they occur, it permits a union of heart and mind and tongue and tear.
French, Marilyn
Nothing right can be accomplished in art without enthusiasm.
Schumann, Robert
Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.
John Singer Sargent
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
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
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 passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
Orson Welles
The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.
Eliot, T. S.
Art -- the one achievement of Man which has made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised.
Thurber, James
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
Andre Gide
We are not here to triumph by fighting, by strata gem, or by resistance, not to fight with beasts as men. We have fought the beast and have conquered. We have only to conquer now,by suffering. This is the easier victory.
Eliot, T. S.
Martyrdom covers a multitude of sins.
Twain, Mark
Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.
Riding, Laura
The heart is the best reflective thinker.
Phillips, Wendell
Use your head and your heart, its not everything but its a start.
Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.
Baruch, Bernard M.
The artist is a member of the leisured classes who cannot pay for his leisure.
Connolly, Cyril
The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.
Berle, Adolf
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
Warhol, Andy
The more horrifying this world becomes, the more art becomes abstract.
Klee, Paul
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
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
Martyrdom does not end something, it only a beginning.
Gandhi, Indira
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
The highest problem of any art is to cause by appearance the illusion of a higher reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother's womb.
Arp, Jean
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Crowley, Aleister
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.
Cicero
