- Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
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.

2.
Impartial. Unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.
Bierce, Ambrose

3.
[Abstract art is] a product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Al Capp

4.
Art has an enemy called ignorance.
Johnson, Ben

5.
If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do. He's not a little peripheral figure entertaining rich people, he's really needed.
Hockney, David

6.
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

7.
Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic.
Ambrose Bierce

8.
What is art but a way of seeing?
Berger, Thomas

9.
This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.
Dali, Salvador

10.
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

11.
I can't criticize what I don't understand. If you want to call this art, you've got the benefit of all my doubts.
Charles Rosin

12.
If we keep an open mind, too much is likely to fall into it.
Barney, Natalie Clifford

13.
With an apple I will astonish Paris.
Cezanne, Paul

14.
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

15.
Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value-judgments. An artist recreates those aspects of reality which represent his fundamental view of man's nature.
Rand, Ayn

16.
The first mistake of Art is to assume that it's serious.
Bangs, Lester

17.
An artist is forced by others to paint out of his own free will.
Kooning, Willem De

18.
Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.
John Singer Sargent

19.
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong

20.
Art is the objectification of feeling.
Langer, Suzanne K.

21.
Personality is everything in art and poetry.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

22.
The art of creation is older than the art of killing.
Voznesensky, Andrei

23.
I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it -- on the inside.

24.
Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.
G. K. Chesterton

25.
All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life.
M. C. Richards

26.
If I spit, they will take my spit and frame it as great art.
Picasso, Pablo

27.
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker

28.
A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind.
Ionesco, Eugene

29.
Art is an absolute mistress; she will not be coquetted with or slighted; she requires the most entire self-devotion, and she repays with grand triumphs.
Cushman, Charlotte Saunders

30.
Seek not good from without: seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.
Suttner, Bertha Von

31.
The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Chopra, Deepak

32.
A painting in a museum hears more ridiculous opinions than anything else in the world.
Edmond de Goncourt

33.
Art is merely the refuge which the ingenious have invented, when they were supplied with food and women, to escape the tediousness of life.
W. Somerset Maugham

34.
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

35.
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

36.
The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel.
Piet Mondrian

37.
Man is always partial and is quite right to be. Even impartiality is partial.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

38.
The torments of martyrdom are probably most keenly felt by the bystanders.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

39.
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.

40.
Whether joy or sorrowful, the heart needs a double, because a joy shared is doubled and a pain that is shared is divided.
Ruckett

41.
Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature's monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish. Everything would break up in chaos. There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere.
Apollinaire, Guillaume

42.
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

43.
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

44.
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
Paul Gauguin

45.
Art is the most passionate orgy within man's grasp.
Dubuffet, Jean

46.
The focus should be on the players. I'm here a long time. You can call me in the summer. Our seniors will be gone.
Smith, Dean

47.
Life isn't long enough for love and art.
W. Somerset Maugham

48.
Faint hearts never win fair ladies.
Proverb, Danish

49.
The highest problem of any art is to cause by appearance the illusion of a higher reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

50.
Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
