Motivational Quotes
Art
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]

Best Quotes about Art
I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.
Frida Kahlo
I can't work without a model. I won't say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying; but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true.
Gogh, Vincent Van
If I spit, they will take my spit and frame it as great art.
Picasso, Pablo
Often while reading a book one feels that the author would have preferred to paint rather than write; one can sense the pleasure he derives from describing a landscape or a person, as if he were painting what he is saying, because deep in his heart he would have preferred to use brushes and colors.
Picasso, Pablo
Wherever art appears, life disappears.
Picabia, Francis
Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.
Riding, Laura
The people who make art their business are mostly impostors.
Picasso, Pablo
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
It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever -- the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.
Lombardi, Vince
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William
There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.
Frost, Robert
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
I never spend more than one hour in a gallery. That is as long as one's power of appreciation persists.
W. Somerset Maugham
A painting in a museum hears more ridiculous opinions than anything else in the world.
Edmond de Goncourt
The artist is extremely lucky who is presented with the worst possible ordeal which will not actually kill him. At that point, he's in business.
Berryman, John
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
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn't make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting -- the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.
Bellow, Saul
The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.
Geldzahler, Henry
Enjoyed it! One more drink and I'd have been under the host.
Parker, Dorothy
Art has never been made while thinking of art.
Niko Stumpo
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
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
All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life.
M. C. Richards
Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.
Picasso, Pablo
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.
The heart always sees before than the head can see.
Carlyle, Thomas
Whether a party can have much success without a woman present I must ask others to decide, but one thing is certain, no party is any fun unless seasoned with folly.
Erasmus, Desiderius
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
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
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
Man is always partial and is quite right to be. Even impartiality is partial.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist: Give me leave to do my utmost.
Isak Dineson
Personality is everything in art and poetry.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
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
In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it.
Fischer, Ernst
Of all the arts in which the wise excel, nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
Buckingham, Duke of
Whether you call my heart affectionate, or you call it womanish: I confess, that to my misfortune, it is soft.
Ovid
Nothing is less in our power than the heart, and far from commanding we are forced to obey it.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.
Sand, George
One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation.
Scott, Sir Walter
Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood... will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.
Gandhi, Indira
As the unity of the modern world becomes increasingly a technological rather than a social affair, the techniques of the arts provide the most valuable means of insight into the real direction of our own collective purposes.
Mcluhan, Marshall
Art is the objectification of feeling.
Langer, Suzanne K.
Drink, and dance and laugh and lie, love the reeling midnight through, for tomorrow we shall die! (But, alas, we never do.)
Parker, Dorothy
A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.
Proust, Marcel
Making social comment is an artificial place for an artist to start from. If an artist is touched by some social condition, what the artist creates will reflect that, but you can't force it.
Lewitzky, Bella
Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.
Latimer, Bishop Hugh
