Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Bad artists always admire each other's work. They call it being large-minded and free from prejudice. But a truly great artist cannot conceive of life being shown, or beauty fashioned, under any conditions other than those he has selected.
Wilde, Oscar

2.
Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

3.
Many bad artists will tell you that art is life. There's a subtle difference however. You can turn your back on art

4.
Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.
Cicero

5.
An artist is forced by others to paint out of his own free will.
Kooning, Willem De

6.
It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters.
Holyfield, Evander

7.
Making social comment is an artificial place for an artist to start from. If an artist is touched by some social condition, what the artist creates will reflect that, but you can't force it.
Lewitzky, Bella

8.
This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.
Dali, Salvador

9.
Art for art's sake? I should think so, and more so than ever at the present time. It is the one orderly product which our middling race has produced. It is the cry of a thousand sentinels, the echo from a thousand labyrinths, it is the lighthouse which cannot be hidden... it is the best evidence we can have of our dignity.
Forster, Edward M.

10.
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

11.
The heart will break, but broken live on.
Byron, Lord

12.
Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.
Barenboim, Daniel

13.
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

14.
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Renoir, Pierre Auguste

15.
The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.
Mailer, Norman

16.
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Crowley, Aleister

17.
If the wolf had ever come to our back door, he'd have had to bring a picnic lunch.
Anderson, Bill

18.
What better way to prove that you understand a subject than to make money out of it?
Rosenberg, Harold

19.
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

20.
I am as content to die for God's eternal truth on the scaffold as in any other way.
Brown, John Mason

21.
One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

22.
I know just how frustrating it can be when you're tired and exhausted, but you still want to draw something.
Ward Jenkins

23.
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.

24.
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

25.
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

26.
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
Paul Gauguin

27.
Not the glittering weapon fights the fight, but rather the hero's heart.
Proverb

28.
Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist: Give me leave to do my utmost.
Isak Dineson

29.
There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.
Pablo Picasso

30.
What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.
Paz, Octavio

31.
It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now.
Ginsberg, Allen

32.
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

33.
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

34.
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

35.
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

36.
The heart is the best reflective thinker.
Phillips, Wendell

37.
An artist must be a reactionary. He has to stand out against the tenor of the age and not go flopping along.
Waugh, Evelyn

38.
Nothing is less in our power than the heart, and far from commanding we are forced to obey it.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

39.
Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.
Alfred North Whitehead

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

41.
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker

42.
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
Pablo Picasso

43.
Art is a form of catharsis.
Parker, Dorothy

44.
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
Andre Gide

45.
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

46.
It's not your painting anymore. It stopped being your painting the moment that you finished it.
Jeff Melvoin

47.
It is a weakness that I lead from my heart, and not my head?
Diana, Princess of Wales

48.
It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it --just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.
Camus, Albert

49.
There is in every human heart Some not completely barren part, Where seeds of truth and love might grow, And flowers of generous virtue flow; To plant, to watch, to water there, This be our duty, be our care.
Bowring, Sir John

50.
Use your head and your heart, its not everything but its a start.
