Motivational Quotes
Art
When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.

Best Quotes about Art
Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist: Give me leave to do my utmost.
Isak Dineson
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
The artist is a member of the leisured classes who cannot pay for his leisure.
Connolly, Cyril
Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.
Ballard, J. G.
The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
Lowell, James Russell
The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world. In this long vigil he often has to vary his methods of stimulation; but in this long vigil he is also himself striving against a continual tendency to sleep.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more -- more unseen forms become manifest to him.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin
Art need no longer be an account of past sensations. It can become the direct organization of more highly evolved sensations. It is a question of producing ourselves, not things that enslave us.
Debord, Guy
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
There must be hearts which know the depths of our being, and swear by us, even when the whole world forsakes us.
Gutzkow
In every veil you see, the Divine Beauty is concealed, making every heart a slave to him. In love to him the heart finds its life; in desire for him the soul finds its happiness. The heart which loves a fair one here, though it knows it not, is really his lover.
Jami
Not the glittering weapon fights the fight, but rather the hero's heart.
Proverb
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
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong
I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
Kennedy, John F.
Technology adds nothing to art. Two thousand years ago, I could tell you a story, and at any point during the story I could stop, and ask, Now do you want the hero to be kidnapped, or not? But that would, of course, have ruined the story. Part of the experience of being entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision.
Penn Jillette
Some people carry their heart in their head and some carry their head in their heart. The trick is to keep them apart yet working together.
Hare, David
Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.
Godard, Jean-Luc
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.
Doubt obscures the true vision of the heart.
A Great man is he who does not lose his childlike heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)
The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
I know just how frustrating it can be when you're tired and exhausted, but you still want to draw something.
Ward Jenkins
What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, their industry.
Ruskin, John
All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life.
M. C. Richards
I say that good painters imitated nature; but that bad ones vomited it.
Miguel de Cervantes
Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
Humanity is the rich effluvium, it is the waste and the manure and the soil, and from it grows the tree of the arts.
Pound, Ezra
Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Kempis, Thomas
The biggest problem with every art is by the use of appearance to create a loftier reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise
The function of art is to make that understood which in the form of argument would be incomprehensible.
Brancusi, Constantin
You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own.
Each of the arts whose office is to refine, purify, adorn, embellish and grace life is under the patronage of a muse, no god being found worthy to preside over them.
Farnham, Eliza
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos
The greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form, the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public. The conventional is uncritically enjoyed, and the truly new is criticized with aversion.
Benjamin, Walter
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
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
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
The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.
Geldzahler, Henry
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
Art is so wonderfully irrational, exuberantly pointless, but necessary all the same. Pointless and yet necessary, that's hard for a puritan to understand.
Grass, Gunther
The highest problem of any art is to cause by appearance the illusion of a higher reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
It is not in life, but in art that self-fulfillment is to be found.
Woodberry, George E.
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
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
If your heart were sincere and upright, every creature would be unto you a looking-glass of life and a book of holy doctrine.
Kempis, Thomas
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin
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
