Motivational Quotes
Art
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.

Best Quotes about Art
What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.
Jefferson, Thomas
Art is too serious to be taken seriously.
Reinhardt, Ad
Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more -- more unseen forms become manifest to him.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin
I suppose no matter what I'm drawing, there will always be some sort of question in my mind about it. A work of art (even cartoon art)is never really finished; it is abandoned.
Brooke McEldowney
The idea of a mass audience was really an invention of the Industrial Revolution.
David Cronenberg
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.
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
With an apple I will astonish Paris.
Cezanne, Paul
If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come.
Proverb, Chinese
The primary distinction of the artist is that he must actively cultivate that state which most men, necessarily, must avoid: the state of being alone.
Baldwin, James
In our own hearts, we mold the whole world's hereafters; and in our own hearts we fashion our own gods.
Melville, Herman
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
Art is a private thing, the artist makes it for himself; a comprehensible work is the product of a journalist. We need works that are strong, straight, precise, and forever beyond understanding.
Tzara, Tristan
Seek not good from without: seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.
Suttner, Bertha Von
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
Use your head and your heart, its not everything but its a start.
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech.
Simonides
It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now.
Ginsberg, Allen
As a general truth, it is safe to say that any picture that produces a moral impression is a bad picture.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De
Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.
Wealth and want equally harden the human heart, like frost and fire both are alien to human flesh.
Parker, Theodore
No sheath shall hold what finds its home in flesh.
Proverb
I never spend more than one hour in a gallery. That is as long as one's power of appreciation persists.
W. Somerset Maugham
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
For the outer sense alone perceives visible things and the eye of the heart alone seeds the invisible.
Saint-Victor, Richard of
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
No art can be noble which is incapable of expressing thought, and no art is capable of expressing thought which does not change.
Ruskin, John
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Labor is the beginning, the middle, and the end of art.
Balance is the enemy of art.
Eyre, Richard
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
Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman.
Apollinaire, Guillaume
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.
When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.
Chagall, Marc
There is no true expertise in the humanities without knowing all of the humanities. Art is a vast, ancient interconnected web-work, a fabricated tradition. Over-concentration on any one point is a distortion.
Paglia, Camille
The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give it up.
Connolly, Cyril
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
Whether joy or sorrowful, the heart needs a double, because a joy shared is doubled and a pain that is shared is divided.
Ruckett
You're confusing product with process. Most people, when they criticize, whether they like it or hate it, they're talking about product. That's not art, that's the result of art. Art, to whatever degree we can get a handle on (I'm not sure that we really can) is a process. It begins in the heart and the mind with the eyes and hands.
Jeff Melvoin
The function of art is to make that understood which in the form of argument would be incomprehensible.
Brancusi, Constantin
All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.
Eckhart, Meister
Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood -- never.
Camus, Albert
Art is an absolute mistress; she will not be coquetted with or slighted; she requires the most entire self-devotion, and she repays with grand triumphs.
Cushman, Charlotte Saunders
[Abstract art is] a product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Al Capp
Love can heal a broken heart.
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
Midler, Bette
Martyrdom has always been a proof of the intensity, never of the correctness of a belief.
Schnitzler, Arthur
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.
If I spit, they will take my spit and frame it as great art.
Picasso, Pablo
It is more difficult, and it calls for higher energies of soul, to live a martyr than to die one.
Mann, Horace
