Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
The heart that truly loves never forgets.
Proverb

2.
Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.
Anderson, Lindsay

3.
The artist is the child of his time; but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favorite.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

4.
The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure
Baryshnikov, Mikhail

5.
Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic.
Ambrose Bierce

6.
Art has an enemy called ignorance.
Johnson, Ben

7.
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

8.
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

9.
Every artist was first an amateur.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

10.
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

11.
Every artist writes his own autobiography.
Ellis, Havelock

12.
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise

13.
Art, that great undogmatized church.
Key, Ellen

14.
It is a weakness that I lead from my heart, and not my head?
Diana, Princess of Wales

15.
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
Schumann, Robert

16.
I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need. [when asked how he managed to make his remarkable statues.]
Rodin, Auguste

17.
Of all the arts in which the wise excel, nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
Buckingham, Duke of

18.
The contemporary thing in art and literature is the thing which doesn't make enough difference to the people of that generation so that they can accept it or reject it.
Stein, Gertrude

19.
I am more afraid of my own heart than the Pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great Pope, Self.
Luther, Martin

20.
Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Capp, Al

21.
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

22.
Whether you call my heart affectionate, or you call it womanish: I confess, that to my misfortune, it is soft.
Ovid

23.
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

24.
Don't waste time trying to break a man's heart; be satisfied if you can just manage to chip it in a brand new place.
Rowland, Helen

25.
Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.
Miller, Henry

26.
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

27.
The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

28.
Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature's monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish. Everything would break up in chaos. There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere.
Apollinaire, Guillaume

29.
Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize.
Kael, Pauline

30.
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
Blackie, Professor

31.
The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.
Pope, Alexander

32.
In other countries, art and literature are left to a lot of shabby bums living in attics and feeding on booze and spaghetti, but in America the successful writer or picture-painter is indistinguishable from any other decent businessman.
Lewis, Sinclair

33.
The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.
Mailer, Norman

34.
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

35.
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

36.
Why should I go into details, we have nothing that is not perishable except what our hearts and our intellects endows us with.
Ovid

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.
Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.
West, Rebecca

39.
An artist is a creature driven by demons. He doesn't know why they choose him and he's usually too busy to wonder why.
Faulkner, William

40.
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
Jacob, Max

41.
Art is a private thing, the artist makes it for himself; a comprehensible work is the product of a journalist. We need works that are strong, straight, precise, and forever beyond understanding.
Tzara, Tristan

42.
There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted.
Matisse, Henri

43.
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

44.
Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
Einstein, Albert

45.
Each painting has its own way of evolving...When the painting is finished, the subject reaveals itself.
William Baziotes

46.
I'm still an artist. I'm never gonna do a shit movie, because I've got my modeling to support me.
Jovovich, Milla

47.
I'm the artist formally known as Beck. I have a genius wig. When I put that wig on, then the true genius emerges. I don't have enough hair to be a genius. I think you have to have hair going everywhere.
Beck

48.
The True Artist has the planet for his pedestal; the adventurer, after years of strife, has nothing broader than his shoes.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

49.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
Keller, Helen

50.
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.
