Motivational Quotes

Art

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.
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
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

2.
It's not your painting anymore. It stopped being your painting the moment that you finished it.
Jeff Melvoin

3.
Not everything has a name. Some things lead us into a realm beyond words.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander

4.
It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now.
Ginsberg, Allen

5.
Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Kempis, Thomas

6.
Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood -- never.
Camus, Albert

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

8.
It is either easy or impossible.
Dali, Salvador

9.
The more horrifying this world becomes, the more art becomes abstract.
Klee, Paul

10.
Their is a road from the eye to heart that does not go through the intellect.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

11.
Art -- the one achievement of Man which has made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised.
Thurber, James

12.
Surely all art is the result of one's having been in danger, of having gone through an experience all the way to the end, where no one can go any further.
Rilke, Rainer Maria

13.
This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.
Wolfe, Thomas

14.
There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist's relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist's concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.
Rich, Adrienne

15.
I am an artist I am here to live out loud.
Zola, Emile

16.
The eyes see what the heart loves. If the heart loves God and is single in this devotion, then the eyes will see God whether others see Him or not.
Wiersbe, Warren

17.
Often while reading a book one feels that the author would have preferred to paint rather than write; one can sense the pleasure he derives from describing a landscape or a person, as if he were painting what he is saying, because deep in his heart he would have preferred to use brushes and colors.
Picasso, Pablo

18.
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

19.
The way of the world is, to praise dead saints, and persecute living ones.
Howe, Nathaniel

20.
Have thy heart in heaven and thy hands upon the earth. Ascend in piety and descend in charity. For this is the Nature of Light and the way of the children.
Vaughan, Thomas

21.
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.

22.
The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure
Baryshnikov, Mikhail

23.
Advice from a veteran trapeze performer: Throw your heart over the bars and your body will follow.

24.
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

25.
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker

26.
There must be hearts which know the depths of our being, and swear by us, even when the whole world forsakes us.
Gutzkow

27.
As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn't make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting -- the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.
Bellow, Saul

28.
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

29.
Art is the signature of civilizations.
Sills, Beverly

30.
Of all the arts in which the wise excel, nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
Buckingham, Duke of

31.
Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize.
Kael, Pauline

32.
It is a weakness that I lead from my heart, and not my head?
Diana, Princess of Wales

33.
Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist: Give me leave to do my utmost.
Isak Dineson

34.
Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.
Churchill, Winston

35.
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

36.
Art is skill, that is the first meaning of the word.
Gill, Eric

37.
Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother's womb.
Arp, Jean

38.
The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.
Eliot, T. S.

39.
Every artist was first an amateur.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

40.
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

41.
Photography, fortunately, to me has not only been a profession but also a contact between people - to understand human nature and record, if possible, the best in each individual.
Nickolas Muray

42.
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

43.
Art forms of the past were really considered elitist. Bach did not compose for the masses, neither did Beethoven. It was always for patrons, aristocrats, and royalty. Now we have a sort of democratic version of that, which is to say that the audience is so splintered in its interests.
David Cronenberg

44.
Whether joy or sorrowful, the heart needs a double, because a joy shared is doubled and a pain that is shared is divided.
Ruckett

45.
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

46.
There is no true expertise in the humanities without knowing all of the humanities. Art is a vast, ancient interconnected web-work, a fabricated tradition. Over-concentration on any one point is a distortion.
Paglia, Camille

47.
We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.
John F. Kennedy

48.
One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
Cocteau, Jean

49.
Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.
Riding, Laura

50.
Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.
Godard, Jean-Luc
