Motivational Quotes

Art

Feminist art is not some tiny creek running off the great river of real art. It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it joy?
- Dworkin, Andrea
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.
Baruch, Bernard M.

2.
Whenever, at a party, I have been in the mood to study fools, I have always looked for a great beauty: they always gather round her like flies around a fruit stall.
Richter, Jean Paul

3.
Doubt obscures the true vision of the heart.

4.
Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

5.
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

6.
Art at its most significant is a distant early warning system that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen.
Mcluhan, Marshall

7.
Art is man's expression of his joy in labor.
Morris, William

8.
The great artist is a slave to his ideals.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

9.
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

10.
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

11.
I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.
Duke Ellington

12.
There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.
Pablo Picasso

13.
Nothing right can be accomplished in art without enthusiasm.
Schumann, Robert

14.
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist's way of scribbling Kilroy was here on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.
Faulkner, William

15.
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

16.
Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist: Give me leave to do my utmost.
Isak Dineson

17.
Faint hearts never win fair ladies.
Proverb, Danish

18.
While I do not suggest that humanity will ever be able to dispense with its martyrs, I cannot avoid the suspicion that with a little more thought and a little less belief their number may be substantially reduced.
Haldane, John B. S.

19.
The function of art is to make that understood which in the form of argument would be incomprehensible.
Brancusi, Constantin

20.
Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.
Cather, Willa

21.
I am as content to die for God's eternal truth on the scaffold as in any other way.
Brown, John Mason

22.
Contrary to popular belief an artist is never ahead of his time, but most people are far behind theirs.
Varese, Edward

23.
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

24.
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

25.
The heart will break, but broken live on.
Byron, Lord

26.
The True Artist has the planet for his pedestal; the adventurer, after years of strife, has nothing broader than his shoes.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

27.
Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.
Adorno, Theodor W.

28.
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.

29.
Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.
Riding, Laura

30.
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

31.
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.

32.
If we keep an open mind, too much is likely to fall into it.
Barney, Natalie Clifford

33.
The artist belongs to their work, not the work to the artist.
Novalis

34.
Martyrdom has always been a proof of the intensity, never of the correctness of a belief.
Schnitzler, Arthur

35.
A primary function of art and thought is to liberate the individual from the tyranny of his culture in the environmental sense and to permit him to stand beyond it in an autonomy of perception and judgment.
Trilling, Lionel

36.
The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
Lowell, James Russell

37.
Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.
West, Rebecca

38.
Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.
Barzun, Jacques

39.
Man is always partial and is quite right to be. Even impartiality is partial.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

40.
I am more afraid of my own heart than the Pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great Pope, Self.
Luther, Martin

41.
The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.
Pope, Alexander

42.
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

43.
The art of creation is older than the art of killing.
Voznesensky, Andrei

44.
Art -- the one achievement of Man which has made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised.
Thurber, James

45.
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin

46.
Use your head and your heart, its not everything but its a start.

47.
It is not in life, but in art that self-fulfillment is to be found.
Woodberry, George E.

48.
Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves they have a better idea.
Ciardi, John

49.
The creation of art is not the fulfillment of a need but the creation of a need. The world never needed Beethoven's Fifth Symphony until he created it. Now we could not live without it.
Louis I Kahn

50.
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
