Art

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



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Enjoyed it! One more drink and I'd have been under the host.
Parker, Dorothy

2.
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Walt Whitman

3.
Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.

4.
I am an artist I am here to live out loud.
Zola, Emile

5.
No man dies for what he knows to be true. Men die for what they want to be true, for what some terror in their hearts tells them is not true.
Wilde, Oscar

6.
When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it -- a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand -- as a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it is bad art.
Chagall, Marc

7.
The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences.
Beecher, Henry Ward

8.
You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own.

9.
Man is always partial and is quite right to be. Even impartiality is partial.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

10.
A heart in love with beauty never grows old.
Proverb, Turkish

11.
I can't criticize what I don't understand. If you want to call this art, you've got the benefit of all my doubts.
Charles Rosin

12.
A painting in a museum hears more ridiculous opinions than anything else in the world.
Edmond de Goncourt

13.
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

14.
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

15.
The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs. Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

16.
Modern pictures are, no doubt, delightful to look at. At least, some of them are. But they are quite impossible to live with; they are too clever, too assertive, too intellectual. Their meaning is too obvious, and their method too clearly defined. One
Wilde, Oscar

17.
Art forms of the past were really considered elitist. Bach did not compose for the masses, neither did Beethoven. It was always for patrons, aristocrats, and royalty. Now we have a sort of democratic version of that, which is to say that the audience is so splintered in its interests.
David Cronenberg

18.
We are not here to triumph by fighting, by strata gem, or by resistance, not to fight with beasts as men. We have fought the beast and have conquered. We have only to conquer now,by suffering. This is the easier victory.
Eliot, T. S.

19.
The heart that truly loves never forgets.
Proverb

20.
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker

21.
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

22.
Art is the objectification of feeling.
Langer, Suzanne K.

23.
The creation of art is not the fulfillment of a need but the creation of a need. The world never needed Beethoven's Fifth Symphony until he created it. Now we could not live without it.
Louis I Kahn

24.
Bad artists always admire each other's work. They call it being large-minded and free from prejudice. But a truly great artist cannot conceive of life being shown, or beauty fashioned, under any conditions other than those he has selected.
Wilde, Oscar

25.
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

26.
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

27.
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
Camus, Albert

28.
Seek not good from without: seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.
Suttner, Bertha Von

29.
Every artist writes his own autobiography.
Ellis, Havelock

30.
All art is an imitation of nature.
Seneca

31.
Art is merely the refuge which the ingenious have invented, when they were supplied with food and women, to escape the tediousness of life.
W. Somerset Maugham

32.
Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.
Sand, George

33.
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

34.
A painting in a museum probably hears more foolish remarks than anything else in the world.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De

35.
The object of art is to give life a shape. [Midsummer Nights Dream]
Shakespeare, William

36.
Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake.
E. M. Forster

37.
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
Midler, Bette

38.
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

39.
It is a weakness that I lead from my heart, and not my head?
Diana, Princess of Wales

40.
In free society art is not a weapon. Artists are not engineers of the soul.
Kennedy, John F.

41.
Balance is the enemy of art.
Eyre, Richard

42.
The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

43.
What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.
Paz, Octavio

44.
This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.
Wolfe, Thomas

45.
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

46.
If the wolf had ever come to our back door, he'd have had to bring a picnic lunch.
Anderson, Bill

47.
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

48.
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.

49.
Only conservatives believe that subversion is still being carried on in the arts and that society is being shaken by it. Advanced art today is no longer a cause --it contains no moral imperative. There is no virtue in clinging to principles and standards, no vice in selling or in selling out.
Rosenberg, Harold

50.
Doubt obscures the true vision of the heart.
