Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul. The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of Artist.
Poe, Edgar Allan

2.
Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

7.
Were art to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness.

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

9.
A painting in a museum probably hears more foolish remarks than anything else in the world.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De

Nothing is less in our power than the heart, and far from commanding we are forced to obey it.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

11.
Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.
Conrad, Joseph

12.
The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.
Geldzahler, Henry

13.
Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.
Godard, Jean-Luc

14.
What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.
Paz, Octavio

15.
Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.
West, Rebecca

16.
Art has an enemy called ignorance.
Johnson, Ben

17.
The heart that truly loves never forgets.
Proverb

18.
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

19.
I never spend more than one hour in a gallery. That is as long as one's power of appreciation persists.
W. Somerset Maugham

Pound, Ezra

Nietzsche, Friedrich

Baruch, Bernard M.

24.
The heart will break, but broken live on.
Byron, Lord

25.
Advice from a veteran trapeze performer: Throw your heart over the bars and your body will follow.

26.
The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give it up.
Connolly, Cyril

27.
In our own hearts, we mold the whole world's hereafters; and in our own hearts we fashion our own gods.
Melville, Herman

28.
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William

29.
I say that good painters imitated nature; but that bad ones vomited it.
Miguel de Cervantes

30.
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.

31.
Ads are the cave art of the twentieth century.
Mcluhan, Marshall

32.
I would rather be ashes than dust. I would rather that my spark would burn out in a brilliant blaze than be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
London, Jack

33.
The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.
Berle, Adolf

Frida Kahlo

39.
Whatever an artist's personal feelings are, as soon as an artist fills a certain area on the canvas or circumscribes it, he becomes historical. He acts from or upon other artists.
Kooning, Willem De

40.
Art has never been made while thinking of art.
Niko Stumpo

41.

Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Capp, Al

44.
I can't work without a model. I won't say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying; but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true.
Gogh, Vincent Van

45.
Is there not an art, a music, and a stream of words that shalt be life, the acknowledged voice of life?
