Art

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



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Many bad artists will tell you that art is life. There's a subtle difference however. You can turn your back on art

2.
If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do. He's not a little peripheral figure entertaining rich people, he's really needed.
Hockney, David

3.
Creative work is play. It is free speculation using materials of one's chosen form.
Stephen Nachmanovitch

4.
A painting in a museum hears more ridiculous opinions than anything else in the world.
Edmond de Goncourt

5.
I'm still an artist. I'm never gonna do a shit movie, because I've got my modeling to support me.
Jovovich, Milla

6.
I have seen, and heard, much of Cockney impudence before now; but never expected to hear a coxcomb ask two hundred guineas for flinging a pot of paint in the public's face.
Ruskin, John

7.
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

8.
Like other parties of the kind, it was first silent, then talky, then argumentative, then disputatious, then unintelligible, then altogether, then inarticulate, and then drunk. When we had reached the last step of this glorious ladder, it was difficult to get down again without stumbling.
Byron, Lord

9.
By the time a partnership dissolves, it has dissolved.
Updike, John

10.
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

11.
Any artist should be grateful for a na?ve grace which puts him beyond the need to reason elaborately.
Bellow, Saul

12.
What of us lies in the hearts of others is our truest and deepest self.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von

13.
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

14.
Martyrdom covers a multitude of sins.
Twain, Mark

15.
In our own hearts, we mold the whole world's hereafters; and in our own hearts we fashion our own gods.
Melville, Herman

16.
Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that you live, if you do.
Elizabeth Bowen

17.
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
Roosevelt, Theodore

18.
Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Capp, Al

19.
One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

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.
There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.
Pablo Picasso

22.
I say that good painters imitated nature; but that bad ones vomited it.
Miguel de Cervantes

23.
Great art is the contempt of a great man for small art.

24.
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

25.
It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
Shaw, George Bernard

26.
If I didn't start painting, I would have raised chickens.
Moses, Grandma

27.
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
Jacob, Max

28.
Is there not an art, a music, and a stream of words that shalt be life, the acknowledged voice of life?
Wordsworth, William

29.
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

30.
Art is the human disposition of sensible or intelligible matter for an esthetic end.
Joyce, James

31.
The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.
Berle, Adolf

32.
Sculpture and painting have the effect of teaching us manners and abolishing hurry.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

33.
I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it -- on the inside.

34.
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

35.
The highest problem of any art is to cause by appearance the illusion of a higher reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

36.
Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

37.
I am an artist I am here to live out loud.
Zola, Emile

38.
The artist belongs to their work, not the work to the artist.
Novalis

39.
No sheath shall hold what finds its home in flesh.
Proverb

40.
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
Andre Gide

41.
It is all very well, when the pen flows, but then there are the dark days when imagination deserts one, and it is an effort to put anything down on paper. That little you have achieved stares at you at the end of the day, and you know the next morning you will have to scrape it down and start again.
Elizabeth Aston

42.
A heart in love with beauty never grows old.
Proverb, Turkish

43.
Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.
Yu Cao

44.
For the outer sense alone perceives visible things and the eye of the heart alone seeds the invisible.
Saint-Victor, Richard of

45.
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

46.
The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.
Franklin, Benjamin

47.
Some people carry their heart in their head and some carry their head in their heart. The trick is to keep them apart yet working together.
Hare, David

48.
The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs. Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

49.
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech.
Simonides

50.
The heart will break, but broken live on.
Byron, Lord
