Motivational Quotes
Art
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.

Best Quotes about Art
The public history of modern art is the story of conventional people not knowing what they are dealing with.
Motherwell, Robert
What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.
Tagore, Rabindranath
Faint hearts never win fair ladies.
Proverb, Danish
No sheath shall hold what finds its home in flesh.
Proverb
The heart is the best reflective thinker.
Phillips, Wendell
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
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
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
Not the glittering weapon fights the fight, but rather the hero's heart.
Proverb
The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.
Franklin, Benjamin
It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
Shaw, George Bernard
You're confusing product with process. Most people, when they criticize, whether they like it or hate it, they're talking about product. That's not art, that's the result of art. Art, to whatever degree we can get a handle on (I'm not sure that we really can) is a process. It begins in the heart and the mind with the eyes and hands.
Jeff Melvoin
There is in every human heart Some not completely barren part, Where seeds of truth and love might grow, And flowers of generous virtue flow; To plant, to watch, to water there, This be our duty, be our care.
Bowring, Sir John
Art for art's sake? I should think so, and more so than ever at the present time. It is the one orderly product which our middling race has produced. It is the cry of a thousand sentinels, the echo from a thousand labyrinths, it is the lighthouse which cannot be hidden... it is the best evidence we can have of our dignity.
Forster, Edward M.
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
Roosevelt, Theodore
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker
The powerful play goes on -- and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?
Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.
Miller, Henry
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Renoir, Pierre Auguste
But the one thing you should. not do is to suppose that when something is wrong with the arts, it is wrong with the arts ONLY.
Pound, Ezra
Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.
Picasso, Pablo
Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The highest problem of any art is to cause by appearance the illusion of a higher reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Whether a party can have much success without a woman present I must ask others to decide, but one thing is certain, no party is any fun unless seasoned with folly.
Erasmus, Desiderius
The art of creation is older than the art of killing.
Voznesensky, Andrei
Martyrdom does not end something, it only a beginning.
Gandhi, Indira
The artist is the child of his time; but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favorite.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Man is always partial and is quite right to be. Even impartiality is partial.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
Great persecutors are recruited among martyrs whose heads haven't been cut off.
Cioran, E. M.
Nature is inside art as its content, not outside as its model.
Frye, Northrop
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Crowley, Aleister
There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.
Frost, Robert
This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.
Dali, Salvador
Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.
Novalis
The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.
Jackson Pollock
The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The artist must conceive with warmth yet execute with coolness.
Winkelmann
Art is skill, that is the first meaning of the word.
Gill, Eric
I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
Orson Welles
I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
Kennedy, John F.
Labor is the beginning, the middle, and the end of art.
Art is so wonderfully irrational, exuberantly pointless, but necessary all the same. Pointless and yet necessary, that's hard for a puritan to understand.
Grass, Gunther
The biggest problem with every art is by the use of appearance to create a loftier reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The heart that truly loves never forgets.
Proverb
Art is the most passionate orgy within man's grasp.
Dubuffet, Jean
I know just how frustrating it can be when you're tired and exhausted, but you still want to draw something.
Ward Jenkins
Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.
Baruch, Bernard M.
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
