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

2.
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

3.
Art is skill, that is the first meaning of the word.
Gill, Eric

4.
The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs. Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

5.
Each painting has its own way of evolving...When the painting is finished, the subject reaveals itself.
William Baziotes

6.
If the wolf had ever come to our back door, he'd have had to bring a picnic lunch.
Anderson, Bill

7.
Art is the most passionate orgy within man's grasp.
Dubuffet, Jean

8.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
Keller, Helen

9.
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

10.
As noble Art has survived noble nature, so too she marches ahead of it, fashioning and awakening by her inspiration. Before Truth sends her triumphant light into the depths of the heart, imagination catches its rays, and the peaks of humanity will be glowing when humid night still lingers in the valleys.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

11.
I know just how frustrating it can be when you're tired and exhausted, but you still want to draw something.
Ward Jenkins

12.
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
Blackie, Professor

13.
Modern pictures are, no doubt, delightful to look at. At least, some of them are. But they are quite impossible to live with; they are too clever, too assertive, too intellectual. Their meaning is too obvious, and their method too clearly defined. One
Wilde, Oscar

14.
I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it -- on the inside.

15.
Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.
G. K. Chesterton

16.
Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.
Picasso, Pablo

17.
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

18.
Art has never been made while thinking of art.
Niko Stumpo

19.
Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize.
Kael, Pauline

20.
Contrary to popular belief an artist is never ahead of his time, but most people are far behind theirs.
Varese, Edward

21.
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.

22.
The artist must conceive with warmth yet execute with coolness.
Winkelmann

23.
I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscles can split a shield and even destroy life itself but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of man. And until I master this act I will remain no more than a peddler in the marketplace. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on who I call can defend upon its force... my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest day.
Mandino, Og

24.
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William

25.
As the unity of the modern world becomes increasingly a technological rather than a social affair, the techniques of the arts provide the most valuable means of insight into the real direction of our own collective purposes.
Mcluhan, Marshall

26.
Great persecutors are recruited among martyrs whose heads haven't been cut off.
Cioran, E. M.

27.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the house of entertainment.
Bible

28.
An artist must be a reactionary. He has to stand out against the tenor of the age and not go flopping along.
Waugh, Evelyn

29.
Artistic growth is, more than it is anything else, a refining of the sense of truthfulness. The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is.
Cather, Willa

30.
Art is on the side of the oppressed. Think before you shudder at the simplistic dictum and its heretical definition of the freedom of art. For if art is freedom of the spirit, how can it exist within the oppressors?
Edith Wharton

31.
I am an artist I am here to live out loud.
Zola, Emile

32.
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

33.
When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it -- a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand -- as a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it is bad art.
Chagall, Marc

34.
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

35.
If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently and replace it tenderly in its Master's presence. And even if you did nothing during the whole ofyour hour but bring your heart back and place it again in Our Lord's presence, though it went away every time you brought it back, your hour would be very well employed.
Francis De Sales, St.

36.
The martyr sacrifices themselves entirely in vain. Or rather not in vain; for they make the selfish more selfish, the lazy more lazy, the narrow narrower.
Nightingale, Florence

37.
The heart that truly loves never forgets.
Proverb

38.
I never spend more than one hour in a gallery. That is as long as one's power of appreciation persists.
W. Somerset Maugham

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

40.
On with the dance! let joy be unconfined; no sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet to chase the glowing hours with flying feet.
Gordon, George

41.
The artist is a member of the leisured classes who cannot pay for his leisure.
Connolly, Cyril

42.
It is the cause, not the death that makes the martyr.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

43.
Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.
Conrad, Joseph

44.
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

45.
Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman.
Apollinaire, Guillaume

46.
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

47.
Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.

48.
The more horrifying this world becomes, the more art becomes abstract.
Klee, Paul

49.
An artist is forced by others to paint out of his own free will.
Kooning, Willem De

50.
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
