Art

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



Best Quotes about Art

1.
As the twentieth century ends, commerce and culture are coming closer together. The distinction between life and art has been eroded by fifty years of enhanced communications, ever-improving reproduction technologies and increasing wealth.
Bayley, Stephen

2.
There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.
Frost, Robert

3.
I am an artist I am here to live out loud.
Zola, Emile

4.
For the outer sense alone perceives visible things and the eye of the heart alone seeds the invisible.
Saint-Victor, Richard of

5.
With an apple I will astonish Paris.
Cezanne, Paul

6.
I say that good painters imitated nature; but that bad ones vomited it.
Miguel de Cervantes

7.
It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters.
Holyfield, Evander

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.
The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.
Jackson Pollock

10.
Martyrdom covers a multitude of sins.
Twain, Mark

11.
There must be hearts which know the depths of our being, and swear by us, even when the whole world forsakes us.
Gutzkow

12.
Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.
Amy Lowell

13.
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

14.
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

15.
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

16.
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
Andre Gide

17.
If you were in a burning house and there was a cat and a Rembrandt, what would you save? The cat...you would save the cat, because the cat is alive. The art is dead. It's just paint on a canvas, ink on a page. To live for art is to deny life. It's just to destroy life.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider

18.
It is either easy or impossible.
Dali, Salvador

19.
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

20.
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

21.
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

22.
All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life.
M. C. Richards

23.
What of us lies in the hearts of others is our truest and deepest self.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von

24.
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong

25.
Man is always partial and is quite right to be. Even impartiality is partial.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

26.
The focus should be on the players. I'm here a long time. You can call me in the summer. Our seniors will be gone.
Smith, Dean

27.
Enjoyed it! One more drink and I'd have been under the host.
Parker, Dorothy

28.
Art has an enemy called ignorance.
Johnson, Ben

29.
The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
Lowell, James Russell

30.
Were art to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

31.
Like other parties of the kind, it was first silent, then talky, then argumentative, then disputatious, then unintelligible, then altogether, then inarticulate, and then drunk. When we had reached the last step of this glorious ladder, it was difficult to get down again without stumbling.
Byron, Lord

32.
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

33.
What ever purifies the heart also fortifies it.
Blair, Hugh

34.
Only conservatives believe that subversion is still being carried on in the arts and that society is being shaken by it. Advanced art today is no longer a cause --it contains no moral imperative. There is no virtue in clinging to principles and standards, no vice in selling or in selling out.
Rosenberg, Harold

35.
Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

36.
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

37.
Art is the human disposition of sensible or intelligible matter for an esthetic end.
Joyce, James

38.
Art is the most passionate orgy within man's grasp.
Dubuffet, Jean

39.
The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.
Eliot, T. S.

40.
Wherever art appears, life disappears.
Picabia, Francis

41.
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.

42.
Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

43.
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

44.
The difference between a man who faces death for the sake of an idea and an imitator who goes in search of martyrdom is that whilst the former expresses his idea most fully in death it is the strange feeling of bitterness which comes from failure that the latter really enjoys; the former rejoices in his victory, the latter in his suffering.
Kierkegaard, S°ren

45.
Fortunately art is a community effort --a small but select community living in a spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the flesh.
Ginsberg, Allen

46.
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

47.
The artist must conceive with warmth yet execute with coolness.
Winkelmann

48.
Art the end result of perception, wisdom, intelligence, discipline, hard work, passion, luck, accident, and coincidence.

49.
Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Kempis, Thomas

50.
Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman.
Apollinaire, Guillaume
