Motivational Quotes
Art
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.

Best Quotes about Art
This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.
Dali, Salvador
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
The artist must conceive with warmth yet execute with coolness.
Winkelmann
It's not your painting anymore. It stopped being your painting the moment that you finished it.
Jeff Melvoin
A heart in love with beauty never grows old.
Proverb, Turkish
There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.
Pablo Picasso
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 skill, that is the first meaning of the word.
Gill, Eric
While I do not suggest that humanity will ever be able to dispense with its martyrs, I cannot avoid the suspicion that with a little more thought and a little less belief their number may be substantially reduced.
Haldane, John B. S.
All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.
Eckhart, Meister
When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it -- a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand -- as a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it is bad art.
Chagall, Marc
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
Each painting has its own way of evolving...When the painting is finished, the subject reaveals itself.
William Baziotes
Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.
Miller, Henry
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
The great artist is a slave to his ideals.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
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
Feminist art is not some tiny creek running off the great river of real art. It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it joy?
Dworkin, Andrea
Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that you live, if you do.
Elizabeth Bowen
Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature's monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish. Everything would break up in chaos. There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere.
Apollinaire, Guillaume
One thing that makes art different from life is that in art things have a shape... it allows us to fix our emotions on events at the moment they occur, it permits a union of heart and mind and tongue and tear.
French, Marilyn
The object of art is to give life a shape. [Midsummer Nights Dream]
Shakespeare, William
The artist belongs to their work, not the work to the artist.
Novalis
Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin
In our own hearts, we mold the whole world's hereafters; and in our own hearts we fashion our own gods.
Melville, Herman
Charity is in the heart of man, and righteousness in the path of men. Pity the man who has lost his path and does not follow it and who has lost his heart and does not know how to recover it. When people's dogs and chicks are lost they go out and look for them and yet the people who have lost their hearts do not go out and look for them. The principle of self-cultivation consists in nothing but trying to look for the lost heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)
It is not in life, but in art that self-fulfillment is to be found.
Woodberry, George E.
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
Life isn't long enough for love and art.
W. Somerset Maugham
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
The heart that truly loves never forgets.
Proverb
No manager ever won no ballgames.
Anderson, Sparky
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.
A painting in a museum hears more ridiculous opinions than anything else in the world.
Edmond de Goncourt
Why should I buy expensive art when I can make my own.
Piero Milani
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
Eugene Delacroix
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Love can heal a broken heart.
Art the end result of perception, wisdom, intelligence, discipline, hard work, passion, luck, accident, and coincidence.
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise
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 highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
Blackie, Professor
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Gide, Andre
Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.
John Singer Sargent
Artistic growth is, more than it is anything else, a refining of the sense of truthfulness. The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is.
Cather, Willa
Faint hearts never win fair ladies.
Proverb, Danish
Use your head and your heart, its not everything but its a start.
If I didn't start painting, I would have raised chickens.
Moses, Grandma
One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
Cocteau, Jean
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
