Art has an enemy called ignorance.

Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever -- the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.
Lombardi, Vince

2.
The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel.
Piet Mondrian

3.
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

4.
The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it's dead for you.
Wilson, Robert

5.
The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

6.
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

7.
Art is a reality, not a definition; inasmuch as it approaches a reality, it approaches perfection, and inasmuch as it approaches a mere definition, it is imperfect and untrue.
Haydon, Benjamin

8.
The heart that truly loves never forgets.
Proverb

9.
I know just how frustrating it can be when you're tired and exhausted, but you still want to draw something.
Ward Jenkins

10.
What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, their industry.
Ruskin, John

11.
It doesn't matter if people are interested. It's about you taking your stuff and shouting out into the void.
Jadelr and Cristina Cordova

12.
The great artist is a slave to his ideals.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

13.
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

14.
Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves they have a better idea.
Ciardi, John

15.
I never spend more than one hour in a gallery. That is as long as one's power of appreciation persists.
W. Somerset Maugham

16.
But the one thing you should. not do is to suppose that when something is wrong with the arts, it is wrong with the arts ONLY.
Pound, Ezra

17.
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

18.
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

19.
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

20.
The difference between a man who faces death for the sake of an idea and an imitator who goes in search of martyrdom is that whilst the former expresses his idea most fully in death it is the strange feeling of bitterness which comes from failure that the latter really enjoys; the former rejoices in his victory, the latter in his suffering.
Kierkegaard, S°ren

21.
Whether you call my heart affectionate, or you call it womanish: I confess, that to my misfortune, it is soft.
Ovid

22.
The contemporary thing in art and literature is the thing which doesn't make enough difference to the people of that generation so that they can accept it or reject it.
Stein, Gertrude

23.
Charity is in the heart of man, and righteousness in the path of men. Pity the man who has lost his path and does not follow it and who has lost his heart and does not know how to recover it. When people's dogs and chicks are lost they go out and look for them and yet the people who have lost their hearts do not go out and look for them. The principle of self-cultivation consists in nothing but trying to look for the lost heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)

24.
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

25.
All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.
Eckhart, Meister

26.
Doubt obscures the true vision of the heart.

27.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the house of entertainment.
Bible

28.
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

29.
Great persecutors are recruited among martyrs whose heads haven't been cut off.
Cioran, E. M.

30.
Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation.
Davis, Angela Y.

31.
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Gide, Andre

32.
Contrary to popular belief an artist is never ahead of his time, but most people are far behind theirs.
Varese, Edward

33.
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.

34.
Art the end result of perception, wisdom, intelligence, discipline, hard work, passion, luck, accident, and coincidence.

35.
Not the glittering weapon fights the fight, but rather the hero's heart.
Proverb

36.
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

37.
For us artists there waits the joyous compromise through art with all that wounded or defeated us in daily life; in this way, not to evade destiny, as the ordinary people try to do, but to fulfil it in its true potential --the imagination.
Durrell, Lawrence

38.
The heart will break, but broken live on.
Byron, Lord

39.
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
Midler, Bette

40.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
Keller, Helen

41.
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos

42.
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Crowley, Aleister

43.
Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.

44.
The creative artist seems to be almost the only kind of man that you could never meet on neutral ground. You can only meet him as an artist. He sees nothing objectively because his own ego is always in the foreground of every picture.
Chandler, Raymond

45.
As the unity of the modern world becomes increasingly a technological rather than a social affair, the techniques of the arts provide the most valuable means of insight into the real direction of our own collective purposes.
Mcluhan, Marshall

46.
Use your head and your heart, its not everything but its a start.

47.
Advice from a veteran trapeze performer: Throw your heart over the bars and your body will follow.

48.
Art is a form of catharsis.
Parker, Dorothy

49.
Humanity is the rich effluvium, it is the waste and the manure and the soil, and from it grows the tree of the arts.
Pound, Ezra

50.
It's not your painting anymore. It stopped being your painting the moment that you finished it.
Jeff Melvoin
