Art

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



Best Quotes about Art

1.
The heart always sees before than the head can see.
Carlyle, Thomas

2.
The artist must conceive with warmth yet execute with coolness.
Winkelmann

3.
If that's art, I'm a Hottentot!
Truman, Harry S

4.
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

5.
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

6.
Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

7.
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.

8.
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

9.
Many bad artists will tell you that art is life. There's a subtle difference however. You can turn your back on art

10.
Often while reading a book one feels that the author would have preferred to paint rather than write; one can sense the pleasure he derives from describing a landscape or a person, as if he were painting what he is saying, because deep in his heart he would have preferred to use brushes and colors.
Picasso, Pablo

11.
There is no true expertise in the humanities without knowing all of the humanities. Art is a vast, ancient interconnected web-work, a fabricated tradition. Over-concentration on any one point is a distortion.
Paglia, Camille

12.
The torments of martyrdom are probably most keenly felt by the bystanders.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

13.
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

14.
The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.
Franklin, Benjamin

15.
The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it's dead for you.
Wilson, Robert

16.
Let each man exercise the art he knows.
Aristophanes

17.
I would rather be ashes than dust. I would rather that my spark would burn out in a brilliant blaze than be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
London, Jack

18.
Whether you call my heart affectionate, or you call it womanish: I confess, that to my misfortune, it is soft.
Ovid

19.
Art never improves, but the material of art is never quite the same.
Eliot, T. S.

20.
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Crowley, Aleister

21.
The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

22.
The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Chopra, Deepak

23.
Impartial. Unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.
Bierce, Ambrose

24.
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker

25.
Drink, and dance and laugh and lie, love the reeling midnight through, for tomorrow we shall die! (But, alas, we never do.)
Parker, Dorothy

26.
Art is the objectification of feeling.
Langer, Suzanne K.

27.
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.

28.
What I dream of is an art of balance.
Henri Matisse

29.
The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
Lowell, James Russell

30.
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

31.
I'm still an artist. I'm never gonna do a shit movie, because I've got my modeling to support me.
Jovovich, Milla

32.
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

33.
As the twentieth century ends, commerce and culture are coming closer together. The distinction between life and art has been eroded by fifty years of enhanced communications, ever-improving reproduction technologies and increasing wealth.
Bayley, Stephen

34.
It is not in life, but in art that self-fulfillment is to be found.
Woodberry, George E.

35.
The heart will break, but broken live on.
Byron, Lord

36.
There are in every generation those who shrink from the ultimate sacrifice, but there are in every generation those who make it with joy and laughter and these are the salt of the generations.
Pearse, Patrick Henry

37.
Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.
Anderson, Lindsay

38.
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

39.
Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that you live, if you do.
Elizabeth Bowen

40.
The function of art is to make that understood which in the form of argument would be incomprehensible.
Brancusi, Constantin

41.
All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.
Eckhart, Meister

42.
Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.
John Singer Sargent

43.
The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.
Geldzahler, Henry

44.
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

45.
All great art, and today all great artlessness, must appear extreme to the mass of men, as we know them today. It springs from the anguish of great souls. From the souls of men not formed, but deformed in factories whose inspiration is pelf.
Trocchi, Alexander

46.
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist's way of scribbling Kilroy was here on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.
Faulkner, William

47.
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.
Picasso, Pablo

48.
O, had I but followed the arts!
Shakespeare, William

49.
The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

50.
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
Paul Gauguin
