Best Quotes about Art
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.
Many bad artists will tell you that art is life. There's a subtle difference however. You can turn your back on art
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.
Art for art's sake? I should think so, and more so than ever at the present time. It is the one orderly product which our middling race has produced. It is the cry of a thousand sentinels, the echo from a thousand labyrinths, it is the lighthouse which cannot be hidden... it is the best evidence we can have of our dignity.
Forster, Edward M.
Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.
Anderson, Lindsay
I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need. [when asked how he managed to make his remarkable statues.]
Rodin, Auguste
Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.
Churchill, Winston
This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.
Dali, Salvador
Art is too serious to be taken seriously.
Reinhardt, Ad
The highest problem of any art is to cause by appearance the illusion of a higher reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Art is the signature of civilizations.
Sills, Beverly
With an apple I will astonish Paris.
Cezanne, Paul
Let each man exercise the art he knows.
Aristophanes
If I spit, they will take my spit and frame it as great art.
Picasso, Pablo
In art as in love, instinct is enough.
France, Anatole
The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.
Huxley, Aldous
Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.
Yu Cao
Art is skill, that is the first meaning of the word.
Gill, Eric
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
Not the glittering weapon fights the fight, but rather the hero's heart.
Proverb
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The focus should be on the players. I'm here a long time. You can call me in the summer. Our seniors will be gone.
Smith, Dean
This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.
Wolfe, Thomas
I know just how frustrating it can be when you're tired and exhausted, but you still want to draw something.
Ward Jenkins
All great art, and today all great artlessness, must appear extreme to the mass of men, as we know them today. It springs from the anguish of great souls. From the souls of men not formed, but deformed in factories whose inspiration is pelf.
Trocchi, Alexander
There are in every generation those who shrink from the ultimate sacrifice, but there are in every generation those who make it with joy and laughter and these are the salt of the generations.
Pearse, Patrick Henry
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
Camus, Albert
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
Art is the final cunning of the human soul which would rather do anything than face the gods.
Murdoch, Iris
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
Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use.
Castaneda, Carlos
Art is a form of catharsis.
Parker, Dorothy
Art never improves, but the material of art is never quite the same.
Eliot, T. S.
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Crowley, Aleister
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Renoir, Pierre Auguste
An artist is forced by others to paint out of his own free will.
Kooning, Willem De
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
Pablo Picasso
Were art to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y
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
On with the dance! let joy be unconfined; no sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet to chase the glowing hours with flying feet.
Gordon, George
Seek not good from without: seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.
Suttner, Bertha Von
Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.
Ballard, J. G.
The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness, the rigidity, the regularity, the luster on every interior and exterior facet, of the crystal.
Breton, Andre
If you were in a burning house and there was a cat and a Rembrandt, what would you save? The cat...you would save the cat, because the cat is alive. The art is dead. It's just paint on a canvas, ink on a page. To live for art is to deny life. It's just to destroy life.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
If I didn't start painting, I would have raised chickens.
Moses, Grandma
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
Art is the human disposition of sensible or intelligible matter for an esthetic end.
Joyce, James
Of all the arts in which the wise excel, nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
Buckingham, Duke of
