Art

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



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Art is the only thing that can go on mattering, once it has stopped hurting.
Bowen, Elizabeth

2.
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

3.
We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.
John F. Kennedy

4.
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

5.
The creation of art is not the fulfillment of a need but the creation of a need. The world never needed Beethoven's Fifth Symphony until he created it. Now we could not live without it.
Louis I Kahn

6.
Personality is everything in art and poetry.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

7.
There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.
Pablo Picasso

8.
Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing --to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

9.
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech.
Simonides

10.
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

11.
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

12.
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

13.
Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.
Barenboim, Daniel

14.
Sculpture and painting have the effect of teaching us manners and abolishing hurry.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

15.
Art imitates Nature in this; not to dare is to dwindle.
Updike, John

16.
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

17.
The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.
Franklin, Benjamin

18.
Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.
Adorno, Theodor W.

19.
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

20.
Creative work is play. It is free speculation using materials of one's chosen form.
Stephen Nachmanovitch

21.
Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

22.
Martyrdom covers a multitude of sins.
Twain, Mark

23.
Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother's womb.
Arp, Jean

24.
The primary distinction of the artist is that he must actively cultivate that state which most men, necessarily, must avoid: the state of being alone.
Baldwin, James

25.
Good art however immoral is wholly a thing of virtue. Good art can NOT be immoral. By good art I mean art that bears true witness, I mean the art that is most precise.
Pound, Ezra

26.
I am an artist I am here to live out loud.
Zola, Emile

27.
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong

28.
The artist is a member of the leisured classes who cannot pay for his leisure.
Connolly, Cyril

29.
Art is the symbol of the two noblest human efforts: to construct and to refrain from destruction.
Weil, Simone

30.
Doubt obscures the true vision of the heart.

31.
Let each man exercise the art he knows.
Aristophanes

32.
It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters.
Holyfield, Evander

33.
Art is the final cunning of the human soul which would rather do anything than face the gods.
Murdoch, Iris

34.
The heart is the best reflective thinker.
Phillips, Wendell

35.
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

36.
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
Shaw, George Bernard

37.
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

38.
Art is a form of catharsis.
Parker, Dorothy

39.
Within your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go.
Driscoll, Louise

40.
Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.
Miller, Henry

41.
I'm still an artist. I'm never gonna do a shit movie, because I've got my modeling to support me.
Jovovich, Milla

42.
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

43.
The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.
Eliot, T. S.

44.
No manager ever won no ballgames.
Anderson, Sparky

45.
In free society art is not a weapon. Artists are not engineers of the soul.
Kennedy, John F.

46.
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

47.
Art is an absolute mistress; she will not be coquetted with or slighted; she requires the most entire self-devotion, and she repays with grand triumphs.
Cushman, Charlotte Saunders

48.
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

49.
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

50.
Every artist was first an amateur.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
