Art

It is the cause, not the death that makes the martyr.
- Bonaparte, Napoleon
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Any artist should be grateful for a na?ve grace which puts him beyond the need to reason elaborately.
Bellow, Saul

2.
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

3.
Art at its most significant is a distant early warning system that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen.
Mcluhan, Marshall

4.
It is more difficult, and it calls for higher energies of soul, to live a martyr than to die one.
Mann, Horace

5.
Much of modern art is devoted to lowering the threshold of what is terrible. By getting us used to what, formerly, we could not bear to see or hear, because it was too shocking, painful, or embarrassing, art changes morals.
Sontag, Susan

6.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
Keller, Helen

7.
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

8.
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

9.
Surely all art is the result of one's having been in danger, of having gone through an experience all the way to the end, where no one can go any further.
Rilke, Rainer Maria

10.
Whatever an artist's personal feelings are, as soon as an artist fills a certain area on the canvas or circumscribes it, he becomes historical. He acts from or upon other artists.
Kooning, Willem De

11.
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker

12.
The artist must conceive with warmth yet execute with coolness.
Winkelmann

13.
Each of the arts whose office is to refine, purify, adorn, embellish and grace life is under the patronage of a muse, no god being found worthy to preside over them.
Farnham, Eliza

14.
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

15.
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

16.
Of all the arts in which the wise excel, nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
Buckingham, Duke of

17.
Art is the most passionate orgy within man's grasp.
Dubuffet, Jean

18.
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

19.
Whether you call my heart affectionate, or you call it womanish: I confess, that to my misfortune, it is soft.
Ovid

20.
The biggest problem with every art is by the use of appearance to create a loftier reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

21.
Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.
Churchill, Winston

22.
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.
Picasso, Pablo

23.
Art, that great undogmatized church.
Key, Ellen

24.
The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.
Eliot, T. S.

25.
Love can heal a broken heart.

26.
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Walt Whitman

27.
Whenever, at a party, I have been in the mood to study fools, I have always looked for a great beauty: they always gather round her like flies around a fruit stall.
Richter, Jean Paul

28.
If I didn't start painting, I would have raised chickens.
Moses, Grandma

29.
Art is the human disposition of sensible or intelligible matter for an esthetic end.
Joyce, James

30.
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

31.
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

32.
All great art, and today all great artlessness, must appear extreme to the mass of men, as we know them today. It springs from the anguish of great souls. From the souls of men not formed, but deformed in factories whose inspiration is pelf.
Trocchi, Alexander

33.
I suppose no matter what I'm drawing, there will always be some sort of question in my mind about it. A work of art (even cartoon art)is never really finished; it is abandoned.
Brooke McEldowney

34.
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)

35.
The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Chopra, Deepak

36.
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

37.
Seek not good from without: seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.
Suttner, Bertha Von

38.
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
Eugene Delacroix

39.
It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters.
Holyfield, Evander

40.
Art the end result of perception, wisdom, intelligence, discipline, hard work, passion, luck, accident, and coincidence.

41.
This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.
Dali, Salvador

42.
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

43.
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.

44.
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

45.
Man is always partial and is quite right to be. Even impartiality is partial.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

46.
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

47.
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise

48.
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Renoir, Pierre Auguste

49.
Their is a road from the eye to heart that does not go through the intellect.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

50.
Art forms of the past were really considered elitist. Bach did not compose for the masses, neither did Beethoven. It was always for patrons, aristocrats, and royalty. Now we have a sort of democratic version of that, which is to say that the audience is so splintered in its interests.
David Cronenberg
