Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
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

2.
It is either easy or impossible.
Dali, Salvador

3.
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
Jacob, Max

4.
As a general truth, it is safe to say that any picture that produces a moral impression is a bad picture.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De

5.
I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.
Frida Kahlo

6.
There are in every generation those who shrink from the ultimate sacrifice, but there are in every generation those who make it with joy and laughter and these are the salt of the generations.
Pearse, Patrick Henry

7.
Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic.
Ambrose Bierce

8.
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
Henry Ward Beecher

9.
The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.
Huxley, Aldous

10.
What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, their industry.
Ruskin, John

11.
Charity is in the heart of man, and righteousness in the path of men. Pity the man who has lost his path and does not follow it and who has lost his heart and does not know how to recover it. When people's dogs and chicks are lost they go out and look for them and yet the people who have lost their hearts do not go out and look for them. The principle of self-cultivation consists in nothing but trying to look for the lost heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)

12.
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

13.
Impartial. Unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.
Bierce, Ambrose

14.
If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do. He's not a little peripheral figure entertaining rich people, he's really needed.
Hockney, David

15.
The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure
Baryshnikov, Mikhail

16.
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
Shaw, George Bernard

17.
Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.

18.
All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life.
M. C. Richards

19.
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

20.
All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.
Eckhart, Meister

21.
Art is merely the refuge which the ingenious have invented, when they were supplied with food and women, to escape the tediousness of life.
W. Somerset Maugham

22.
Drink, and dance and laugh and lie, love the reeling midnight through, for tomorrow we shall die! (But, alas, we never do.)
Parker, Dorothy

23.
I never spend more than one hour in a gallery. That is as long as one's power of appreciation persists.
W. Somerset Maugham

24.
Each painting has its own way of evolving...When the painting is finished, the subject reaveals itself.
William Baziotes

25.
There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.
Frost, Robert

26.
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
Midler, Bette

27.
Whether a party can have much success without a woman present I must ask others to decide, but one thing is certain, no party is any fun unless seasoned with folly.
Erasmus, Desiderius

28.
What is art but a way of seeing?
Berger, Thomas

29.
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

30.
Nothing right can be accomplished in art without enthusiasm.
Schumann, Robert

31.
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos

32.
Their is a road from the eye to heart that does not go through the intellect.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

33.
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

34.
The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.
Jackson Pollock

35.
Art has never been made while thinking of art.
Niko Stumpo

36.
Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.
John Singer Sargent

37.
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker

38.
In any society, the artist has a responsibility. His effectiveness is certainly limited and a painter or writer cannot change the world. But they can keep an essential margin of non-conformity alive. Thanks to them the powerful can never affirm that everyone agrees with their acts. That small difference is important.
Bunuel, Luis

39.
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

40.
Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value-judgments. An artist recreates those aspects of reality which represent his fundamental view of man's nature.
Rand, Ayn

41.
I have seen, and heard, much of Cockney impudence before now; but never expected to hear a coxcomb ask two hundred guineas for flinging a pot of paint in the public's face.
Ruskin, John

42.
The torments of martyrdom are probably most keenly felt by the bystanders.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

43.
We are not here to triumph by fighting, by strata gem, or by resistance, not to fight with beasts as men. We have fought the beast and have conquered. We have only to conquer now,by suffering. This is the easier victory.
Eliot, T. S.

44.
The heart is the best reflective thinker.
Phillips, Wendell

45.
Art the end result of perception, wisdom, intelligence, discipline, hard work, passion, luck, accident, and coincidence.

46.
There is nothing enduring in life for a women except what she builds in a man's heart.
Anderson, Judith

47.
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

48.
Life isn't long enough for love and art.
W. Somerset Maugham

49.
What ever purifies the heart also fortifies it.
Blair, Hugh

50.
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
