Motivational Quotes
Art
A painting in a museum probably hears more foolish remarks than anything else in the world.

Best Quotes about Art
Art -- the one achievement of Man which has made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised.
Thurber, James
I suppose no matter what I'm drawing, there will always be some sort of question in my mind about it. A work of art (even cartoon art)is never really finished; it is abandoned.
Brooke McEldowney
The biggest problem with every art is by the use of appearance to create a loftier reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity, the dread of doing what has been done before.
Edith Wharton
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.
The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The artist belongs to their work, not the work to the artist.
Novalis
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
To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
Martyrdom covers a multitude of sins.
Twain, Mark
With an apple I will astonish Paris.
Cezanne, Paul
One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation.
Scott, Sir Walter
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
Henry Ward Beecher
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
A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.
Proust, Marcel
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
Art is a private thing, the artist makes it for himself; a comprehensible work is the product of a journalist. We need works that are strong, straight, precise, and forever beyond understanding.
Tzara, Tristan
Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Kempis, Thomas
Have thy heart in heaven and thy hands upon the earth. Ascend in piety and descend in charity. For this is the Nature of Light and the way of the children.
Vaughan, Thomas
Whatever an artist's personal feelings are, as soon as an artist fills a certain area on the canvas or circumscribes it, he becomes historical. He acts from or upon other artists.
Kooning, Willem De
Nothing right can be accomplished in art without enthusiasm.
Schumann, Robert
Art at its most significant is a distant early warning system that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen.
Mcluhan, Marshall
I'm still an artist. I'm never gonna do a shit movie, because I've got my modeling to support me.
Jovovich, Milla
I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need. [when asked how he managed to make his remarkable statues.]
Rodin, Auguste
It is a weakness that I lead from my heart, and not my head?
Diana, Princess of Wales
Many bad artists will tell you that art is life. There's a subtle difference however. You can turn your back on art
If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently and replace it tenderly in its Master's presence. And even if you did nothing during the whole ofyour hour but bring your heart back and place it again in Our Lord's presence, though it went away every time you brought it back, your hour would be very well employed.
Francis De Sales, St.
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
O, had I but followed the arts!
Shakespeare, William
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 sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Gide, Andre
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.
Farnham, Eliza
Art is a form of catharsis.
Parker, Dorothy
One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure
Baryshnikov, Mikhail
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin
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
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
Shaw, George Bernard
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 vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
The heart is the best reflective thinker.
Phillips, Wendell
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
Paul Gauguin
At every party there are two kinds of people -- those who want to go home and those who don't. The trouble is, they are usually married to each other.
Landers, Ann
If I didn't start painting, I would have raised chickens.
Moses, Grandma
Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.
Novalis
What is art but a way of seeing?
Berger, Thomas
There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.
Frost, Robert
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.
Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.
Riding, Laura
Why should I go into details, we have nothing that is not perishable except what our hearts and our intellects endows us with.
Ovid
