Best Quotes about Art
Why should I buy expensive art when I can make my own.
Piero Milani
The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.
Mailer, Norman
We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.
John F. Kennedy
It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever -- the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.
Lombardi, Vince
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
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.
The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it's dead for you.
Wilson, Robert
Personality is everything in art and poetry.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Not the glittering weapon fights the fight, but rather the hero's heart.
Proverb
Much of modern art is devoted to lowering the threshold of what is terrible. By getting us used to what, formerly, we could not bear to see or hear, because it was too shocking, painful, or embarrassing, art changes morals.
Sontag, Susan
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
Jacob, Max
Art is the objectification of feeling.
Langer, Suzanne K.
Contrary to popular belief an artist is never ahead of his time, but most people are far behind theirs.
Varese, Edward
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
Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother's womb.
Arp, Jean
Making social comment is an artificial place for an artist to start from. If an artist is touched by some social condition, what the artist creates will reflect that, but you can't force it.
Lewitzky, Bella
Martyrdom does not end something, it only a beginning.
Gandhi, Indira
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.
Chagall, Marc
In free society art is not a weapon. Artists are not engineers of the soul.
Kennedy, John F.
Art has an enemy called ignorance.
Johnson, Ben
If the wolf had ever come to our back door, he'd have had to bring a picnic lunch.
Anderson, Bill
The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.
Eliot, T. S.
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
An artist is forced by others to paint out of his own free will.
Kooning, Willem De
The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
In our own hearts, we mold the whole world's hereafters; and in our own hearts we fashion our own gods.
Melville, Herman
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.
Balance is the enemy of art.
Eyre, Richard
What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.
Tagore, Rabindranath
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
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
Warhol, Andy
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.
Picasso, Pablo
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
The torments of martyrdom are probably most keenly felt by the bystanders.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
A painting in a museum probably hears more foolish remarks than anything else in the world.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De
Nothing right can be accomplished in art without enthusiasm.
Schumann, Robert
The more a man cultivates the arts the less he fornicates. A more and more apparent cleavage occurs between the spirit and the brute.
Baudelaire, Charles
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.
What is art but a way of seeing?
Berger, Thomas
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
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
Only conservatives believe that subversion is still being carried on in the arts and that society is being shaken by it. Advanced art today is no longer a cause --it contains no moral imperative. There is no virtue in clinging to principles and standards, no vice in selling or in selling out.
Rosenberg, Harold
Experiment is necessary in establishing an academy, but certain principles must apply to this business of art as to any other business which affects the artistic tic sense of the community. Great art speaks a language which every intelligent person can understand. The people who call themselves modernists today speak a different language.
Menzies, Robert
This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.
Dali, Salvador
Art the end result of perception, wisdom, intelligence, discipline, hard work, passion, luck, accident, and coincidence.
What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, their industry.
Ruskin, John
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
Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.
Baruch, Bernard M.
There is in fact no such thing as art for art's sake, art that stands above classes, art that is detached from or independent of politics. Proletarian literature and art are part of the whole proletarian revolutionary cause.
Zedong, Mao
