Art

The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
- Lowell, James Russell
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
By the time a partnership dissolves, it has dissolved.
Updike, John

2.
Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.
Amy Lowell

3.
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.

4.
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

5.
The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give it up.
Connolly, Cyril

6.
Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.
Godard, Jean-Luc

7.
Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.
Barenboim, Daniel

8.
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

9.
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
Camus, Albert

10.
In art there are tears that lie too deep for thought.
Kronenberger, Louis

11.
Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.
Miller, Henry

12.
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

13.
Life isn't long enough for love and art.
W. Somerset Maugham

14.
I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.
Frida Kahlo

15.
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong

16.
In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it.
Fischer, Ernst

17.
Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.
Baruch, Bernard M.

18.
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

19.
It is not hard to understand modern art. If it hangs on a wall it's a painting, and if you can walk around it it's a sculpture.

20.
What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.
Paz, Octavio

21.
Art has an enemy called ignorance.
Johnson, Ben

22.
Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother's womb.
Arp, Jean

23.
It is either easy or impossible.
Dali, Salvador

24.
Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.
Churchill, Winston

25.
Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.
West, Rebecca

26.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the house of entertainment.
Bible

27.
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

28.
A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.
Proust, Marcel

29.
The artist is a member of the leisured classes who cannot pay for his leisure.
Connolly, Cyril

30.
Art is parasitic on life, just as criticism is parasitic on art.
Tynan, Kenneth

31.
Art is the objectification of feeling.
Langer, Suzanne K.

32.
Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
Einstein, Albert

33.
Nature is inside art as its content, not outside as its model.
Frye, Northrop

34.
The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

35.
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.

36.
Drink, and dance and laugh and lie, love the reeling midnight through, for tomorrow we shall die! (But, alas, we never do.)
Parker, Dorothy

37.
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech.
Simonides

38.
Art is too serious to be taken seriously.
Reinhardt, Ad

39.
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

40.
It is all very well, when the pen flows, but then there are the dark days when imagination deserts one, and it is an effort to put anything down on paper. That little you have achieved stares at you at the end of the day, and you know the next morning you will have to scrape it down and start again.
Elizabeth Aston

41.
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

42.
There is nothing enduring in life for a women except what she builds in a man's heart.
Anderson, Judith

43.
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
Warhol, Andy

44.
Art imitates Nature in this; not to dare is to dwindle.
Updike, John

45.
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

46.
Personality is everything in art and poetry.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

47.
Creative work is play. It is free speculation using materials of one's chosen form.
Stephen Nachmanovitch

48.
An artist is forced by others to paint out of his own free will.
Kooning, Willem De

49.
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

50.
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
Shaw, George Bernard
