If I spit, they will take my spit and frame it as great art.
- Picasso, Pablo
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
I will soon be going out to shape all the singing tomorrows.
Peri, Gabriel

2.
Art is a form of catharsis.
Parker, Dorothy

3.
Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.
Picasso, Pablo

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

5.
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

6.
I am an artist I am here to live out loud.
Zola, Emile

7.
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

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.
Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use.
Castaneda, Carlos

10.
For us artists there waits the joyous compromise through art with all that wounded or defeated us in daily life; in this way, not to evade destiny, as the ordinary people try to do, but to fulfil it in its true potential --the imagination.
Durrell, Lawrence

11.
The way of the world is, to praise dead saints, and persecute living ones.
Howe, Nathaniel

12.
There is only one art, whose sole criterion is the power, the authenticity, the revelatory insight, the courage and suggestiveness with which it seeks its truth. Thus, from the standpoint of the work and its worth it is irrelevant to which political ideas the artist as a citizen claims allegiance, which ideas he would like to serve with his work or whether he holds any such ideas at all.
Havel, Vaclav

13.
What I dream of is an art of balance.
Henri Matisse

14.
The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.
Pope, Alexander

15.
Why should I buy expensive art when I can make my own.
Piero Milani

16.
I know just how frustrating it can be when you're tired and exhausted, but you still want to draw something.
Ward Jenkins

17.
Use your head and your heart, its not everything but its a start.

18.
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.

19.
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

20.
There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist's relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist's concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.
Rich, Adrienne

21.
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin

22.
Art is the human disposition of sensible or intelligible matter for an esthetic end.
Joyce, James

23.
Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.
Cicero

24.
Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.
Burroughs, William S.

25.
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

26.
There is nothing enduring in life for a women except what she builds in a man's heart.
Anderson, Judith

27.
Not the glittering weapon fights the fight, but rather the hero's heart.
Proverb

28.
The torments of martyrdom are probably most keenly felt by the bystanders.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

29.
You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own.

30.
A painting in a museum probably hears more foolish remarks than anything else in the world.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De

31.
The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.
Jackson Pollock

32.
Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
Wright, Frank Lloyd

33.
In other countries, art and literature are left to a lot of shabby bums living in attics and feeding on booze and spaghetti, but in America the successful writer or picture-painter is indistinguishable from any other decent businessman.
Lewis, Sinclair

34.
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
Shaw, George Bernard

35.
In free society art is not a weapon. Artists are not engineers of the soul.
Kennedy, John F.

36.
At every party there are two kinds of people -- those who want to go home and those who don't. The trouble is, they are usually married to each other.
Landers, Ann

37.
Every artist writes his own autobiography.
Ellis, Havelock

38.
What ever purifies the heart also fortifies it.
Blair, Hugh

39.
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

40.
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

41.
The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.
Mailer, Norman

42.
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

43.
Humanity is the rich effluvium, it is the waste and the manure and the soil, and from it grows the tree of the arts.
Pound, Ezra

44.
The heart is the best reflective thinker.
Phillips, Wendell

45.
The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
Lowell, James Russell

46.
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

47.
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.

48.
Love can heal a broken heart.

49.
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.

50.
The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.
Berle, Adolf
