Art

Art at its most significant is a distant early warning system that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen.
- Mcluhan, Marshall
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

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

2.
Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.
John Singer Sargent

3.
Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

4.
Advice from a veteran trapeze performer: Throw your heart over the bars and your body will follow.

5.
Whenever, at a party, I have been in the mood to study fools, I have always looked for a great beauty: they always gather round her like flies around a fruit stall.
Richter, Jean Paul

6.
The artist belongs to their work, not the work to the artist.
Novalis

7.
The contemporary thing in art and literature is the thing which doesn't make enough difference to the people of that generation so that they can accept it or reject it.
Stein, Gertrude

8.
Any artist should be grateful for a na?ve grace which puts him beyond the need to reason elaborately.
Bellow, Saul

9.
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

10.
Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves they have a better idea.
Ciardi, John

11.
Art at its most significant is a distant early warning system that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen.
Mcluhan, Marshall

12.
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

13.
Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.
Picasso, Pablo

14.
Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.
West, Rebecca

15.
We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.
John F. Kennedy

16.
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

17.
Art is skill, that is the first meaning of the word.
Gill, Eric

18.
Each of the arts whose office is to refine, purify, adorn, embellish and grace life is under the patronage of a muse, no god being found worthy to preside over them.
Farnham, Eliza

19.
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist's way of scribbling Kilroy was here on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.
Faulkner, William

20.
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.

21.
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Gide, Andre

22.
Within your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go.
Driscoll, Louise

23.
A painting in a museum probably hears more foolish remarks than anything else in the world.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De

24.
The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world. In this long vigil he often has to vary his methods of stimulation; but in this long vigil he is also himself striving against a continual tendency to sleep.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

25.
The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

26.
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

27.
Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Capp, Al

28.
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
Henry Ward Beecher

29.
Balance is the enemy of art.
Eyre, Richard

30.
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

31.
I am as content to die for God's eternal truth on the scaffold as in any other way.
Brown, John Mason

32.
I can't work without a model. I won't say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying; but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true.
Gogh, Vincent Van

33.
Love can heal a broken heart.

34.
If I spit, they will take my spit and frame it as great art.
Picasso, Pablo

35.
The True Artist has the planet for his pedestal; the adventurer, after years of strife, has nothing broader than his shoes.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

36.
The first mistake of Art is to assume that it's serious.
Bangs, Lester

37.
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

38.
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

39.
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos

40.
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
Eugene Delacroix

41.
Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.

42.
Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

43.
I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it -- on the inside.

44.
I don't believe in total freedom for the artist. Left on his own, free to do anything he likes, the artist ends up doing nothing at all. If there's one thing that's dangerous for an artist, it's precisely this question of total freedom, waiting for inspiration and all the rest of it.
Federico Fellini

45.
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.

46.
The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.
Jackson Pollock

47.
Man is always partial and is quite right to be. Even impartiality is partial.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

48.
Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence. If nobody, including the artist, acknowledges art as a means of knowing the world, then art is relegated to a kind of rumpus room of the mind and the irresponsibility of the artist and the irrelevance of art to actual living becomes part and parcel of the practice of art.
Carter, Angela

49.
Martyrdom does not end something, it only a beginning.
Gandhi, Indira

50.
All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life.
M. C. Richards
