Motivational Quotes
Art
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

Best Quotes about Art
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
Keller, Helen
Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist: Give me leave to do my utmost.
Isak Dineson
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
The heart will break, but broken live on.
Byron, Lord
An artist must be a reactionary. He has to stand out against the tenor of the age and not go flopping along.
Waugh, Evelyn
Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.
Godard, Jean-Luc
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
Sculpture and painting have the effect of teaching us manners and abolishing hurry.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Modern pictures are, no doubt, delightful to look at. At least, some of them are. But they are quite impossible to live with; they are too clever, too assertive, too intellectual. Their meaning is too obvious, and their method too clearly defined. One
Wilde, Oscar
What of us lies in the hearts of others is our truest and deepest self.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von
The creation of art is not the fulfillment of a need but the creation of a need. The world never needed Beethoven's Fifth Symphony until he created it. Now we could not live without it.
Louis I Kahn
What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.
Tagore, Rabindranath
The first mistake of Art is to assume that it's serious.
Bangs, Lester
Art is good when it springs from necessity. This kind of origin is the guarantee of its value; there is no other.
Cassady, Neal
In free society art is not a weapon. Artists are not engineers of the soul.
Kennedy, John F.
Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.
Baruch, Bernard M.
As noble Art has survived noble nature, so too she marches ahead of it, fashioning and awakening by her inspiration. Before Truth sends her triumphant light into the depths of the heart, imagination catches its rays, and the peaks of humanity will be glowing when humid night still lingers in the valleys.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
The heart always sees before than the head can see.
Carlyle, Thomas
Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.
G. K. Chesterton
Within your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go.
Driscoll, Louise
The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.
Mailer, Norman
The torments of martyrdom are probably most keenly felt by the bystanders.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
I don't believe in total freedom for the artist. Left on his own, free to do anything he likes, the artist ends up doing nothing at all. If there's one thing that's dangerous for an artist, it's precisely this question of total freedom, waiting for inspiration and all the rest of it.
Federico Fellini
It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now.
Ginsberg, Allen
Art forms of the past were really considered elitist. Bach did not compose for the masses, neither did Beethoven. It was always for patrons, aristocrats, and royalty. Now we have a sort of democratic version of that, which is to say that the audience is so splintered in its interests.
David Cronenberg
This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.
Wolfe, Thomas
Art is the signature of civilizations.
Sills, Beverly
Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.
Barzun, Jacques
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Walt Whitman
The highest problem of any art is to cause by appearance the illusion of a higher reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist's relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist's concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.
Rich, Adrienne
With an apple I will astonish Paris.
Cezanne, Paul
The object of art is to give life a shape. [Midsummer Nights Dream]
Shakespeare, William
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
Art is parasitic on life, just as criticism is parasitic on art.
Tynan, Kenneth
Nothing is less in our power than the heart, and far from commanding we are forced to obey it.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
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
Faint hearts never win fair ladies.
Proverb, Danish
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the house of entertainment.
Bible
Art imitates Nature in this; not to dare is to dwindle.
Updike, John
Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.
Adorno, Theodor W.
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
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
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
Art is the most passionate orgy within man's grasp.
Dubuffet, Jean
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
Camus, Albert
Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
Wright, Frank Lloyd
Fortunately art is a community effort --a small but select community living in a spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the flesh.
Ginsberg, Allen
