Motivational Quotes

Art

Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing --to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden.
- Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Chopra, Deepak

2.
As the unity of the modern world becomes increasingly a technological rather than a social affair, the techniques of the arts provide the most valuable means of insight into the real direction of our own collective purposes.
Mcluhan, Marshall

3.
In other countries, art and literature are left to a lot of shabby bums living in attics and feeding on booze and spaghetti, but in America the successful writer or picture-painter is indistinguishable from any other decent businessman.
Lewis, Sinclair

4.
Whether you call my heart affectionate, or you call it womanish: I confess, that to my misfortune, it is soft.
Ovid

5.
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

6.
It is not hard to understand modern art. If it hangs on a wall it's a painting, and if you can walk around it it's a sculpture.

7.
For the outer sense alone perceives visible things and the eye of the heart alone seeds the invisible.
Saint-Victor, Richard of

8.
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.

9.
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

10.
I will soon be going out to shape all the singing tomorrows.
Peri, Gabriel

11.
What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.
Tagore, Rabindranath

12.
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
Joseph Chilton Pearce

13.
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin

14.
If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently and replace it tenderly in its Master's presence. And even if you did nothing during the whole ofyour hour but bring your heart back and place it again in Our Lord's presence, though it went away every time you brought it back, your hour would be very well employed.
Francis De Sales, St.

15.
The more horrifying this world becomes, the more art becomes abstract.
Klee, Paul

16.
Ads are the cave art of the twentieth century.
Mcluhan, Marshall

17.
There must be hearts which know the depths of our being, and swear by us, even when the whole world forsakes us.
Gutzkow

18.
Art forms of the past were really considered elitist. Bach did not compose for the masses, neither did Beethoven. It was always for patrons, aristocrats, and royalty. Now we have a sort of democratic version of that, which is to say that the audience is so splintered in its interests.
David Cronenberg

19.
I know just how frustrating it can be when you're tired and exhausted, but you still want to draw something.
Ward Jenkins

20.
The object of art is to give life a shape. [Midsummer Nights Dream]
Shakespeare, William

21.
If the Revolution has the right to destroy bridges and art monuments whenever necessary, it will stop still less from laying its hand on any tendency in art which, no matter how great its achievement in form, threatens to disintegrate the revolutionary environment or to arouse the internal forces of the Revolution, that is, the proletariat, the peasantry and the intelligentsia, to a hostile opposition to one another. Our standard is, clearly, political, imperative and intolerant.
Trotsky, Leon

22.
Their is a road from the eye to heart that does not go through the intellect.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

23.
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.

24.
What better way to prove that you understand a subject than to make money out of it?
Rosenberg, Harold

25.
It's not your painting anymore. It stopped being your painting the moment that you finished it.
Jeff Melvoin

26.
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

27.
The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.
Pope, Alexander

28.
Wherever art appears, life disappears.
Picabia, Francis

29.
What is art but a way of seeing?
Berger, Thomas

30.
Art is the signature of civilizations.
Sills, Beverly

31.
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Walt Whitman

32.
The artist is the opposite of the politically minded individual, the opposite of the reformer, the opposite of the idealist. The artist does not tinker with the universe; he recreates it out of his own experience and understanding of life.
Miller, Henry

33.
The first mistake of Art is to assume that it's serious.
Bangs, Lester

34.
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.

35.
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker

36.
The art of creation is older than the art of killing.
Voznesensky, Andrei

37.
Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

38.
Impartial. Unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.
Bierce, Ambrose

39.
Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.
Conrad, Joseph

40.
The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.
Mailer, Norman

41.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the house of entertainment.
Bible

42.
Twentieth-century art may start with nothing, but it flourishes by virtue of its belief in itself, in the possibility of control over what seems essentially uncontrollable, in the coherence of the inchoate, and in its ability to create its own values.
Alvarez, A.

43.
Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence. If nobody, including the artist, acknowledges art as a means of knowing the world, then art is relegated to a kind of rumpus room of the mind and the irresponsibility of the artist and the irrelevance of art to actual living becomes part and parcel of the practice of art.
Carter, Angela

44.
I am an artist I am here to live out loud.
Zola, Emile

45.
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

46.
The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
Lowell, James Russell

47.
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

48.
The creative artist seems to be almost the only kind of man that you could never meet on neutral ground. You can only meet him as an artist. He sees nothing objectively because his own ego is always in the foreground of every picture.
Chandler, Raymond

49.
Some people carry their heart in their head and some carry their head in their heart. The trick is to keep them apart yet working together.
Hare, David

50.
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion --I have shuddered at it. I shudder no more --I could be martyred for my religion --Love is my religion --I could die for that.
Keats, John
