Best Quotes about Art
I'm the artist formally known as Beck. I have a genius wig. When I put that wig on, then the true genius emerges. I don't have enough hair to be a genius. I think you have to have hair going everywhere.
Beck
Art has an enemy called ignorance.
Johnson, Ben
Art is the objectification of feeling.
Langer, Suzanne K.
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
It is more difficult, and it calls for higher energies of soul, to live a martyr than to die one.
Mann, Horace
Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.
Alfred North Whitehead
There must be hearts which know the depths of our being, and swear by us, even when the whole world forsakes us.
Gutzkow
I can't tell you what art does and how it does it, but I know that often art has judged the judges, pleaded revenge to the innocent and shown to the future what the past suffered, so that it has never been forgotten. Art, when it functions like this, becomes a meeting-place of the invisible, the irreducible, the enduring, guts, and honor.
Berger, John
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
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
It doesn't matter if people are interested. It's about you taking your stuff and shouting out into the void.
Jadelr and Cristina Cordova
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
It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now.
Ginsberg, Allen
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
What is art but a way of seeing?
Berger, Thomas
Not everything has a name. Some things lead us into a realm beyond words.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander
Fortunately art is a community effort --a small but select community living in a spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the flesh.
Ginsberg, Allen
Art for art's sake? I should think so, and more so than ever at the present time. It is the one orderly product which our middling race has produced. It is the cry of a thousand sentinels, the echo from a thousand labyrinths, it is the lighthouse which cannot be hidden... it is the best evidence we can have of our dignity.
Forster, Edward M.
Of all the arts in which the wise excel, nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
Buckingham, Duke of
It is the cause, not the death that makes the martyr.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
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
Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.
Barenboim, Daniel
The torments of martyrdom are probably most keenly felt by the bystanders.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
If I didn't start painting, I would have raised chickens.
Moses, Grandma
Any artist should be grateful for a na?ve grace which puts him beyond the need to reason elaborately.
Bellow, Saul
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
Jacob, Max
This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.
Dali, Salvador
An artist must be a reactionary. He has to stand out against the tenor of the age and not go flopping along.
Waugh, Evelyn
Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.
Godard, Jean-Luc
Art imitates Nature in this; not to dare is to dwindle.
Updike, John
Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.
Eckhart, Meister
Art is the most passionate orgy within man's grasp.
Dubuffet, Jean
A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind.
Ionesco, Eugene
There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted.
Matisse, Henri
Contrary to popular belief an artist is never ahead of his time, but most people are far behind theirs.
Varese, Edward
I say that good painters imitated nature; but that bad ones vomited it.
Miguel de Cervantes
Art is good when it springs from necessity. This kind of origin is the guarantee of its value; there is no other.
Cassady, Neal
This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.
Wolfe, Thomas
The biggest problem with every art is by the use of appearance to create a loftier reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Capp, Al
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
Not even the visionary or mystical experience ever lasts very long. It is for art to capture that experience, to offer it to, in the case of literature, its readers; to be, for a secular, materialist culture, some sort of replacement for what the love of god offers in the world of faith.
Rushdie, Salman
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong
There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.
Pablo Picasso
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
Joseph Chilton Pearce
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
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
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
