Art

As the unity of the modern world becomes increasingly a technological rather than a social affair, the techniques of the arts provide the most valuable means of insight into the real direction of our own collective purposes.
- Mcluhan, Marshall

Best Quotes about Art

1.
Every artist was first an amateur.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Chopra, Deepak

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

Not the glittering weapon fights the fight, but rather the hero's heart.
Proverb

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

He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Renoir, Pierre Auguste

8.
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.

9.
Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that you live, if you do.
Elizabeth Bowen

15.
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

16.
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

17.
If your heart were sincere and upright, every creature would be unto you a looking-glass of life and a book of holy doctrine.
Kempis, Thomas

18.
All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.
Eckhart, Meister

19.
In art, one idea is as good as another. If one takes the idea of trembling, for instance, all of a sudden most art starts to tremble. Michelangelo starts to tremble. El Greco starts to tremble. All the Impressionists start to tremble.
Kooning, Willem De

20.
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
Warhol, Andy

21.
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.

Elizabeth Aston

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

27.
I am as content to die for God's eternal truth on the scaffold as in any other way.
Brown, John Mason

28.
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
Roosevelt, Theodore

29.
Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.
West, Rebecca

30.
Art is the symbol of the two noblest human efforts: to construct and to refrain from destruction.
Weil, Simone

31.
Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin

32.
Experiment is necessary in establishing an academy, but certain principles must apply to this business of art as to any other business which affects the artistic tic sense of the community. Great art speaks a language which every intelligent person can understand. The people who call themselves modernists today speak a different language.
Menzies, Robert

33.
Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

34.
A Great man is he who does not lose his childlike heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)

35.
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
Schumann, Robert

36.
Feminist art is not some tiny creek running off the great river of real art. It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it joy?
Dworkin, Andrea

37.
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

38.
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.

39.
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

40.
Of all the arts in which the wise excel, nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
Buckingham, Duke of

41.
Whether joy or sorrowful, the heart needs a double, because a joy shared is doubled and a pain that is shared is divided.
Ruckett

42.
If I spit, they will take my spit and frame it as great art.
Picasso, Pablo

43.
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.

44.
In every veil you see, the Divine Beauty is concealed, making every heart a slave to him. In love to him the heart finds its life; in desire for him the soul finds its happiness. The heart which loves a fair one here, though it knows it not, is really his lover.
Jami

45.
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
Midler, Bette

46.
Seek not good from without: seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.
Suttner, Bertha Von

47.
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

48.
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker

49.
No manager ever won no ballgames.
Anderson, Sparky

50.
The great artist is a slave to his ideals.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
