Best Quotes about Art
The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness, the rigidity, the regularity, the luster on every interior and exterior facet, of the crystal.
Breton, Andre
Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.
Latimer, Bishop Hugh
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
Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.
Yu Cao
Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood -- never.
Camus, Albert
Use your head and your heart, its not everything but its a start.
I can't criticize what I don't understand. If you want to call this art, you've got the benefit of all my doubts.
Charles Rosin
Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake.
E. M. Forster
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
The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.
Mailer, Norman
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
Of all the arts in which the wise excel, nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
Buckingham, Duke of
It is a weakness that I lead from my heart, and not my head?
Diana, Princess of Wales
Art is good when it springs from necessity. This kind of origin is the guarantee of its value; there is no other.
Cassady, Neal
A painting in a museum hears more ridiculous opinions than anything else in the world.
Edmond de Goncourt
The great artist is a slave to his ideals.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation.
Davis, Angela Y.
Each painting has its own way of evolving...When the painting is finished, the subject reaveals itself.
William Baziotes
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)
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
No human beings more dangerous than those who have suffered for a belief: the great persecutors are recruited from the martyrs not quite beheaded. Far from diminishing the appetite for power, suffering exasperates it.
Cioran, E. M.
Balance is the enemy of art.
Eyre, Richard
Art the end result of perception, wisdom, intelligence, discipline, hard work, passion, luck, accident, and coincidence.
What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.
Tagore, Rabindranath
I say that good painters imitated nature; but that bad ones vomited it.
Miguel de Cervantes
You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own.
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
Midler, Bette
Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.
Cicero
If I spit, they will take my spit and frame it as great art.
Picasso, Pablo
The idea of a mass audience was really an invention of the Industrial Revolution.
David Cronenberg
Art is a reality, not a definition; inasmuch as it approaches a reality, it approaches perfection, and inasmuch as it approaches a mere definition, it is imperfect and untrue.
Haydon, Benjamin
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
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
Martyrdom has always been a proof of the intensity, never of the correctness of a belief.
Schnitzler, Arthur
Bad artists always admire each other's work. They call it being large-minded and free from prejudice. But a truly great artist cannot conceive of life being shown, or beauty fashioned, under any conditions other than those he has selected.
Wilde, Oscar
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 heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the house of entertainment.
Bible
Whether you call my heart affectionate, or you call it womanish: I confess, that to my misfortune, it is soft.
Ovid
At every party there are two kinds of people -- those who want to go home and those who don't. The trouble is, they are usually married to each other.
Landers, Ann
The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
Lowell, James Russell
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
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion --I have shuddered at it. I shudder no more --I could be martyred for my religion --Love is my religion --I could die for that.
Keats, John
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
Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
Wright, Frank Lloyd
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
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
A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants.
Lao-Tzu
Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.
Novalis
Nothing right can be accomplished in art without enthusiasm.
Schumann, Robert
