Best Quotes about Art
In art, one idea is as good as another. If one takes the idea of trembling, for instance, all of a sudden most art starts to tremble. Michelangelo starts to tremble. El Greco starts to tremble. All the Impressionists start to tremble.
Kooning, Willem De
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos
I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it -- on the inside.
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
I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.
Duke Ellington
Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
Wright, Frank Lloyd
The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure
Baryshnikov, Mikhail
Whenever, at a party, I have been in the mood to study fools, I have always looked for a great beauty: they always gather round her like flies around a fruit stall.
Richter, Jean Paul
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
Roosevelt, Theodore
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.
Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that you live, if you do.
Elizabeth Bowen
An artist is forced by others to paint out of his own free will.
Kooning, Willem De
The heart always sees before than the head can see.
Carlyle, Thomas
Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.
Cicero
I am an artist I am here to live out loud.
Zola, Emile
Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman.
Apollinaire, Guillaume
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William
The more horrifying this world becomes, the more art becomes abstract.
Klee, Paul
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
The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art is merely romantic fiction. The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened.
Wolfe, Thomas
The artist belongs to their work, not the work to the artist.
Novalis
A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.
Proust, Marcel
By the time a partnership dissolves, it has dissolved.
Updike, John
I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscles can split a shield and even destroy life itself but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of man. And until I master this act I will remain no more than a peddler in the marketplace. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on who I call can defend upon its force... my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest day.
Mandino, Og
Of all the arts in which the wise excel, nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
Buckingham, Duke of
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
What better way to prove that you understand a subject than to make money out of it?
Rosenberg, Harold
Why should I go into details, we have nothing that is not perishable except what our hearts and our intellects endows us with.
Ovid
Art has an enemy called ignorance.
Johnson, Ben
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
Experiment is necessary in establishing an academy, but certain principles must apply to this business of art as to any other business which affects the artistic tic sense of the community. Great art speaks a language which every intelligent person can understand. The people who call themselves modernists today speak a different language.
Menzies, Robert
Artistic growth is, more than it is anything else, a refining of the sense of truthfulness. The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is.
Cather, Willa
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
Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.
Ballard, J. G.
Each painting has its own way of evolving...When the painting is finished, the subject reaveals itself.
William Baziotes
What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.
Tagore, Rabindranath
Not everything has a name. Some things lead us into a realm beyond words.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander
Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.
Latimer, Bishop Hugh
The more a man cultivates the arts the less he fornicates. A more and more apparent cleavage occurs between the spirit and the brute.
Baudelaire, Charles
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the house of entertainment.
Bible
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
It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters.
Holyfield, Evander
What of us lies in the hearts of others is our truest and deepest self.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
Midler, Bette
Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.
Baruch, Bernard M.
The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences.
Beecher, Henry Ward
I'm the artist formally known as Beck. I have a genius wig. When I put that wig on, then the true genius emerges. I don't have enough hair to be a genius. I think you have to have hair going everywhere.
Beck
The greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form, the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public. The conventional is uncritically enjoyed, and the truly new is criticized with aversion.
Benjamin, Walter
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.
