Motivational Quotes
Art
Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul. The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of Artist.

Best Quotes about Art
The focus should be on the players. I'm here a long time. You can call me in the summer. Our seniors will be gone.
Smith, Dean
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
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
Blackie, Professor
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
On with the dance! let joy be unconfined; no sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet to chase the glowing hours with flying feet.
Gordon, George
The great artist is a slave to his ideals.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
Have thy heart in heaven and thy hands upon the earth. Ascend in piety and descend in charity. For this is the Nature of Light and the way of the children.
Vaughan, Thomas
The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.
Mailer, Norman
Sculpture and painting have the effect of teaching us manners and abolishing hurry.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The people who make art their business are mostly impostors.
Picasso, Pablo
Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
Wright, Frank Lloyd
Impartial. Unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.
Bierce, Ambrose
Why should I buy expensive art when I can make my own.
Piero Milani
I will soon be going out to shape all the singing tomorrows.
Peri, Gabriel
The public history of modern art is the story of conventional people not knowing what they are dealing with.
Motherwell, Robert
Art has an enemy called ignorance.
Johnson, Ben
Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.
Cicero
The True Artist has the planet for his pedestal; the adventurer, after years of strife, has nothing broader than his shoes.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist: Give me leave to do my utmost.
Isak Dineson
The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
Lowell, James Russell
This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.
Dali, Salvador
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
The artist belongs to their work, not the work to the artist.
Novalis
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
The eyes see what the heart loves. If the heart loves God and is single in this devotion, then the eyes will see God whether others see Him or not.
Wiersbe, Warren
Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.
G. K. Chesterton
Art is the objectification of feeling.
Langer, Suzanne K.
Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.
Novalis
Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value-judgments. An artist recreates those aspects of reality which represent his fundamental view of man's nature.
Rand, Ayn
This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.
Wolfe, Thomas
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.
Their is a road from the eye to heart that does not go through the intellect.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
It is not hard to understand modern art. If it hangs on a wall it's a painting, and if you can walk around it it's a sculpture.
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
Art is parasitic on life, just as criticism is parasitic on art.
Tynan, Kenneth
I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
Orson Welles
A painting in a museum probably hears more foolish remarks than anything else in the world.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De
Why should I go into details, we have nothing that is not perishable except what our hearts and our intellects endows us with.
Ovid
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
Art has never been made while thinking of art.
Niko Stumpo
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
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
Use your head and your heart, its not everything but its a start.
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
Art at its most significant is a distant early warning system that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen.
Mcluhan, Marshall
Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.
Burroughs, William S.
Art, that great undogmatized church.
Key, Ellen
Within your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go.
Driscoll, Louise
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
