Best Quotes about Art
Art has never been made while thinking of art.
Niko Stumpo
Like other parties of the kind, it was first silent, then talky, then argumentative, then disputatious, then unintelligible, then altogether, then inarticulate, and then drunk. When we had reached the last step of this glorious ladder, it was difficult to get down again without stumbling.
Byron, Lord
The heart will break, but broken live on.
Byron, Lord
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
What I dream of is an art of balance.
Henri Matisse
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
In our own hearts, we mold the whole world's hereafters; and in our own hearts we fashion our own gods.
Melville, Herman
A primary function of art and thought is to liberate the individual from the tyranny of his culture in the environmental sense and to permit him to stand beyond it in an autonomy of perception and judgment.
Trilling, Lionel
The primary distinction of the artist is that he must actively cultivate that state which most men, necessarily, must avoid: the state of being alone.
Baldwin, James
No man dies for what he knows to be true. Men die for what they want to be true, for what some terror in their hearts tells them is not true.
Wilde, Oscar
I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.
Duke Ellington
If the wolf had ever come to our back door, he'd have had to bring a picnic lunch.
Anderson, Bill
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
Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Kempis, Thomas
It is more difficult, and it calls for higher energies of soul, to live a martyr than to die one.
Mann, Horace
Great persecutors are recruited among martyrs whose heads haven't been cut off.
Cioran, E. M.
Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood... will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.
Gandhi, Indira
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
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Crowley, Aleister
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong
Photography, fortunately, to me has not only been a profession but also a contact between people - to understand human nature and record, if possible, the best in each individual.
Nickolas Muray
I will soon be going out to shape all the singing tomorrows.
Peri, Gabriel
If I spit, they will take my spit and frame it as great art.
Picasso, Pablo
Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves they have a better idea.
Ciardi, John
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
It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to the feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.
Gogh, Vincent Van
The idea of a mass audience was really an invention of the Industrial Revolution.
David Cronenberg
Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.
John Singer Sargent
Art the end result of perception, wisdom, intelligence, discipline, hard work, passion, luck, accident, and coincidence.
In order for the artist to have a world to express he must first be situated in this world, oppressed or oppressing, resigned or rebellious, a man among men.
Beauvoir, Simone De
Art -- the one achievement of Man which has made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised.
Thurber, James
The heart is the best reflective thinker.
Phillips, Wendell
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
Shaw, George Bernard
I have joined my heart to thee: all that exists are thou. O Lord, beloved of my heart, thou art the home of all; where indeed is the heart in which thou dost not dwell?
Jafar
What is art but a way of seeing?
Berger, Thomas
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
The martyr sacrifices themselves entirely in vain. Or rather not in vain; for they make the selfish more selfish, the lazy more lazy, the narrow narrower.
Nightingale, Florence
The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness, the rigidity, the regularity, the luster on every interior and exterior facet, of the crystal.
Breton, Andre
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin
Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use.
Castaneda, Carlos
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
The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Every artist writes his own autobiography.
Ellis, Havelock
Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.
Anderson, Lindsay
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
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
A painting in a museum hears more ridiculous opinions than anything else in the world.
Edmond de Goncourt
Much of modern art is devoted to lowering the threshold of what is terrible. By getting us used to what, formerly, we could not bear to see or hear, because it was too shocking, painful, or embarrassing, art changes morals.
Sontag, Susan
