Art

Technology adds nothing to art. Two thousand years ago, I could tell you a story, and at any point during the story I could stop, and ask, Now do you want the hero to be kidnapped, or not? But that would, of course, have ruined the story. Part of the experience of being entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision.
- Penn Jillette
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker

2.
The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.
Berle, Adolf

3.
What is art but life upon the larger scale, the higher. When, graduating up in a spiral line of still expanding and ascending gyres, it pushes toward the intense significance of all things, hungry for the infinite?
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

4.
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

5.
Photography, fortunately, to me has not only been a profession but also a contact between people - to understand human nature and record, if possible, the best in each individual.
Nickolas Muray

6.
Art is a form of catharsis.
Parker, Dorothy

7.
The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
Lowell, James Russell

8.
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

9.
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

10.
Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Capp, Al

11.
What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.
Paz, Octavio

12.
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
Roosevelt, Theodore

13.
Surely all art is the result of one's having been in danger, of having gone through an experience all the way to the end, where no one can go any further.
Rilke, Rainer Maria

14.
It's not your painting anymore. It stopped being your painting the moment that you finished it.
Jeff Melvoin

15.
The function of art is to make that understood which in the form of argument would be incomprehensible.
Brancusi, Constantin

16.
No sheath shall hold what finds its home in flesh.
Proverb

17.
Technology adds nothing to art. Two thousand years ago, I could tell you a story, and at any point during the story I could stop, and ask, Now do you want the hero to be kidnapped, or not? But that would, of course, have ruined the story. Part of the experience of being entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision.
Penn Jillette

18.
Art -- the one achievement of Man which has made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised.
Thurber, James

19.
This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.
Wolfe, Thomas

20.
What ever purifies the heart also fortifies it.
Blair, Hugh

21.
Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.
Baruch, Bernard M.

22.
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
Midler, Bette

23.
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.

24.
Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize.
Kael, Pauline

25.
Personality is everything in art and poetry.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

26.
There must be hearts which know the depths of our being, and swear by us, even when the whole world forsakes us.
Gutzkow

27.
Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.
Cather, Willa

28.
By the time a partnership dissolves, it has dissolved.
Updike, John

29.
Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic.
Ambrose Bierce

30.
What I dream of is an art of balance.
Henri Matisse

31.
If I didn't start painting, I would have raised chickens.
Moses, Grandma

32.
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Renoir, Pierre Auguste

33.
Whether joy or sorrowful, the heart needs a double, because a joy shared is doubled and a pain that is shared is divided.
Ruckett

34.
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.
Picasso, Pablo

35.
I will soon be going out to shape all the singing tomorrows.
Peri, Gabriel

36.
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

37.
Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.
Sand, George

38.
Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.
Barenboim, Daniel

39.
Those who write for lucre or fame are grosser than the cartel robbers, for they steal the genius of the people, which is its will to resist evil.
Dahlberg, Edward

40.
The arts are not just instantaneous pleasure -- if you don't like it, the artist is wrong. I belong to the generation which says if you don't like it, you don't understand and you ought to find out.
Drummond, John

41.
No manager ever won no ballgames.
Anderson, Sparky

42.
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
Eugene Delacroix

43.
Art is the only thing that can go on mattering, once it has stopped hurting.
Bowen, Elizabeth

44.
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

45.
I never spend more than one hour in a gallery. That is as long as one's power of appreciation persists.
W. Somerset Maugham

46.
Art is a reality, not a definition; inasmuch as it approaches a reality, it approaches perfection, and inasmuch as it approaches a mere definition, it is imperfect and untrue.
Haydon, Benjamin

47.
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos

48.
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

49.
Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Kempis, Thomas

50.
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
Jacob, Max
