Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.
Anderson, Lindsay

2.
Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.
Burroughs, William S.

3.
If the Revolution has the right to destroy bridges and art monuments whenever necessary, it will stop still less from laying its hand on any tendency in art which, no matter how great its achievement in form, threatens to disintegrate the revolutionary environment or to arouse the internal forces of the Revolution, that is, the proletariat, the peasantry and the intelligentsia, to a hostile opposition to one another. Our standard is, clearly, political, imperative and intolerant.
Trotsky, Leon

4.
The more a man cultivates the arts the less he fornicates. A more and more apparent cleavage occurs between the spirit and the brute.
Baudelaire, Charles

5.
Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.
Novalis

6.
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.

7.
Each painting has its own way of evolving...When the painting is finished, the subject reaveals itself.
William Baziotes

8.
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

9.
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

10.
Repetition is the death of art.
Robin Green

11.
As noble Art has survived noble nature, so too she marches ahead of it, fashioning and awakening by her inspiration. Before Truth sends her triumphant light into the depths of the heart, imagination catches its rays, and the peaks of humanity will be glowing when humid night still lingers in the valleys.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

12.
Art -- the one achievement of Man which has made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised.
Thurber, James

13.
Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.
Sand, George

14.
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

15.
Whether a party can have much success without a woman present I must ask others to decide, but one thing is certain, no party is any fun unless seasoned with folly.
Erasmus, Desiderius

16.
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

17.
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker

18.
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin

19.
I am as content to die for God's eternal truth on the scaffold as in any other way.
Brown, John Mason

20.
The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.
Franklin, Benjamin

21.
I believe that if it were left to artists to choose their own labels, most would choose none.
Ben Shahn

22.
Nothing is less in our power than the heart, and far from commanding we are forced to obey it.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

23.
The greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form, the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public. The conventional is uncritically enjoyed, and the truly new is criticized with aversion.
Benjamin, Walter

24.
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
Joseph Chilton Pearce

25.
There is in every human heart Some not completely barren part, Where seeds of truth and love might grow, And flowers of generous virtue flow; To plant, to watch, to water there, This be our duty, be our care.
Bowring, Sir John

26.
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

27.
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

28.
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion --I have shuddered at it. I shudder no more --I could be martyred for my religion --Love is my religion --I could die for that.
Keats, John

29.
What of us lies in the hearts of others is our truest and deepest self.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von

30.
Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize.
Kael, Pauline

31.
The highest problem of any art is to cause by appearance the illusion of a higher reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

32.
What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.
Tagore, Rabindranath

33.
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

34.
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

35.
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

36.
Nature is inside art as its content, not outside as its model.
Frye, Northrop

37.
What ever purifies the heart also fortifies it.
Blair, Hugh

38.
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
Schumann, Robert

39.
Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist: Give me leave to do my utmost.
Isak Dineson

40.
What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.
Jefferson, Thomas

41.
Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves they have a better idea.
Ciardi, John

42.
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
Andre Gide

43.
Martyrdom covers a multitude of sins.
Twain, Mark

44.
The heart always sees before than the head can see.
Carlyle, Thomas

45.
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

46.
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Gide, Andre

47.
Every artist was first an amateur.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

48.
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

49.
An artist is a creature driven by demons. He doesn't know why they choose him and he's usually too busy to wonder why.
Faulkner, William

50.
Art, that great undogmatized church.
Key, Ellen
