Motivational Quotes

Art

Making social comment is an artificial place for an artist to start from. If an artist is touched by some social condition, what the artist creates will reflect that, but you can't force it.
- Lewitzky, Bella
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.
Duke Ellington

2.
It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it --just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.
Camus, Albert

3.
Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake.
E. M. Forster

4.
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

5.
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

6.
The heart will break, but broken live on.
Byron, Lord

7.
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

8.
In art there are tears that lie too deep for thought.
Kronenberger, Louis

9.
Twentieth-century art may start with nothing, but it flourishes by virtue of its belief in itself, in the possibility of control over what seems essentially uncontrollable, in the coherence of the inchoate, and in its ability to create its own values.
Alvarez, A.

10.
There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.
Pablo Picasso

11.
Art, that great undogmatized church.
Key, Ellen

12.
Contrary to popular belief an artist is never ahead of his time, but most people are far behind theirs.
Varese, Edward

13.
What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, their industry.
Ruskin, John

14.
It is either easy or impossible.
Dali, Salvador

15.
If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do. He's not a little peripheral figure entertaining rich people, he's really needed.
Hockney, David

16.
The great artist is a slave to his ideals.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

17.
The artist belongs to their work, not the work to the artist.
Novalis

18.
With an apple I will astonish Paris.
Cezanne, Paul

19.
The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
Lowell, James Russell

20.
As a general truth, it is safe to say that any picture that produces a moral impression is a bad picture.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De

21.
Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Capp, Al

22.
It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters.
Holyfield, Evander

23.
Why should I go into details, we have nothing that is not perishable except what our hearts and our intellects endows us with.
Ovid

24.
In our own hearts, we mold the whole world's hereafters; and in our own hearts we fashion our own gods.
Melville, Herman

25.
Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing --to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

26.
Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.
John Singer Sargent

27.
Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

28.
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
Paul Gauguin

29.
Every artist was first an amateur.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

30.
If that's art, I'm a Hottentot!
Truman, Harry S

31.
The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.
Mailer, Norman

32.
Man is always partial and is quite right to be. Even impartiality is partial.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

33.
Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.
Cather, Willa

34.
Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.
Novalis

35.
A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants.
Lao-Tzu

36.
Great persecutors are recruited among martyrs whose heads haven't been cut off.
Cioran, E. M.

37.
Creative work is play. It is free speculation using materials of one's chosen form.
Stephen Nachmanovitch

38.
An artist is forced by others to paint out of his own free will.
Kooning, Willem De

39.
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
Blackie, Professor

40.
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

41.
Only conservatives believe that subversion is still being carried on in the arts and that society is being shaken by it. Advanced art today is no longer a cause --it contains no moral imperative. There is no virtue in clinging to principles and standards, no vice in selling or in selling out.
Rosenberg, Harold

42.
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

43.
There is nothing enduring in life for a women except what she builds in a man's heart.
Anderson, Judith

44.
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
Warhol, Andy

45.
The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.
Berle, Adolf

46.
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

47.
The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Chopra, Deepak

48.
If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come.
Proverb, Chinese

49.
Faint hearts never win fair ladies.
Proverb, Danish

50.
Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.
Sand, George
