Best Quotes about Art
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise
There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.
Pablo Picasso
It is the cause, not the death that makes the martyr.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
Contrary to popular belief an artist is never ahead of his time, but most people are far behind theirs.
Varese, Edward
Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
Einstein, Albert
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
Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.
Miller, Henry
Each of the arts whose office is to refine, purify, adorn, embellish and grace life is under the patronage of a muse, no god being found worthy to preside over them.
Farnham, Eliza
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
Eugene Delacroix
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos
Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves they have a better idea.
Ciardi, John
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
Where are you searching for me, friend? Look! Here am I right within you. Not in temple, nor in mosque, not in Kaaba nor Kailas, but here right within you am I.
Kabir
There is nothing enduring in life for a women except what she builds in a man's heart.
Anderson, Judith
I am an artist I am here to live out loud.
Zola, Emile
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
You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own.
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
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
Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.
John Singer Sargent
Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.
Baruch, Bernard M.
The artist is a member of the leisured classes who cannot pay for his leisure.
Connolly, Cyril
Art is on the side of the oppressed. Think before you shudder at the simplistic dictum and its heretical definition of the freedom of art. For if art is freedom of the spirit, how can it exist within the oppressors?
Edith Wharton
One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation.
Scott, Sir Walter
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Renoir, Pierre Auguste
Whether you call my heart affectionate, or you call it womanish: I confess, that to my misfortune, it is soft.
Ovid
The artist must conceive with warmth yet execute with coolness.
Winkelmann
The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs. Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.
Cicero
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
The highest problem of any art is to cause by appearance the illusion of a higher reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
What better way to prove that you understand a subject than to make money out of it?
Rosenberg, Harold
This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.
Dali, Salvador
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 idea of a mass audience was really an invention of the Industrial Revolution.
David Cronenberg
Each painting has its own way of evolving...When the painting is finished, the subject reaveals itself.
William Baziotes
If I didn't start painting, I would have raised chickens.
Moses, Grandma
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
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Crowley, Aleister
In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it.
Fischer, Ernst
Repetition is the death of art.
Robin Green
Not the glittering weapon fights the fight, but rather the hero's heart.
Proverb
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William
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
Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
Wright, Frank Lloyd
I do not know what the heart of a rascal may be, but I know what is in the heart of an honest man; it is horrible.
Maistre, Joseph De
Wealth and want equally harden the human heart, like frost and fire both are alien to human flesh.
Parker, Theodore
Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.
Conrad, Joseph
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
Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.
Sand, George
