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.
Where are you searching for me, friend? Look! Here am I right within you. Not in temple, nor in mosque, not in Kaaba nor Kailas, but here right within you am I.
Kabir

2.
If I spit, they will take my spit and frame it as great art.
Picasso, Pablo

3.
We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.
John F. Kennedy

4.
A painting in a museum probably hears more foolish remarks than anything else in the world.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De

5.
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

6.
The eyes see what the heart loves. If the heart loves God and is single in this devotion, then the eyes will see God whether others see Him or not.
Wiersbe, Warren

7.
I do not know what the heart of a rascal may be, but I know what is in the heart of an honest man; it is horrible.
Maistre, Joseph De

8.
Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.
Miller, Henry

9.
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
Blackie, Professor

10.
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

11.
I am more afraid of my own heart than the Pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great Pope, Self.
Luther, Martin

12.
It is not in life, but in art that self-fulfillment is to be found.
Woodberry, George E.

13.
You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own.

14.
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
Midler, Bette

15.
One thing that makes art different from life is that in art things have a shape... it allows us to fix our emotions on events at the moment they occur, it permits a union of heart and mind and tongue and tear.
French, Marilyn

16.
Art is a jealous mistress; and if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

17.
Contrary to popular belief an artist is never ahead of his time, but most people are far behind theirs.
Varese, Edward

18.
The biggest problem with every art is by the use of appearance to create a loftier reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

19.
Each painting has its own way of evolving...When the painting is finished, the subject reaveals itself.
William Baziotes

20.
The primary distinction of the artist is that he must actively cultivate that state which most men, necessarily, must avoid: the state of being alone.
Baldwin, James

21.
There is nothing enduring in life for a women except what she builds in a man's heart.
Anderson, Judith

22.
Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.
Riding, Laura

23.
While I do not suggest that humanity will ever be able to dispense with its martyrs, I cannot avoid the suspicion that with a little more thought and a little less belief their number may be substantially reduced.
Haldane, John B. S.

24.
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

25.
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

26.
An artist must be a reactionary. He has to stand out against the tenor of the age and not go flopping along.
Waugh, Evelyn

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

29.
The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it's dead for you.
Wilson, Robert

30.
An artist is forced by others to paint out of his own free will.
Kooning, Willem De

31.
Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.
Cather, Willa

32.
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

33.
A Great man is he who does not lose his childlike heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)

34.
No human beings more dangerous than those who have suffered for a belief: the great persecutors are recruited from the martyrs not quite beheaded. Far from diminishing the appetite for power, suffering exasperates it.
Cioran, E. M.

35.
Art is the symbol of the two noblest human efforts: to construct and to refrain from destruction.
Weil, Simone

36.
Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more -- more unseen forms become manifest to him.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin

37.
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

38.
In our own hearts, we mold the whole world's hereafters; and in our own hearts we fashion our own gods.
Melville, Herman

39.
Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
Einstein, Albert

40.
Art is so wonderfully irrational, exuberantly pointless, but necessary all the same. Pointless and yet necessary, that's hard for a puritan to understand.
Grass, Gunther

41.
No art can be noble which is incapable of expressing thought, and no art is capable of expressing thought which does not change.
Ruskin, John

42.
The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.
Mailer, Norman

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

44.
Often while reading a book one feels that the author would have preferred to paint rather than write; one can sense the pleasure he derives from describing a landscape or a person, as if he were painting what he is saying, because deep in his heart he would have preferred to use brushes and colors.
Picasso, Pablo

45.
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

46.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
Keller, Helen

47.
Art imitates Nature in this; not to dare is to dwindle.
Updike, John

48.
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.

49.
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)

50.
Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.
Barenboim, Daniel
