Art

Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech.
- Simonides
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
Whether joy or sorrowful, the heart needs a double, because a joy shared is doubled and a pain that is shared is divided.
Ruckett

2.
No sheath shall hold what finds its home in flesh.
Proverb

3.
A primary function of art and thought is to liberate the individual from the tyranny of his culture in the environmental sense and to permit him to stand beyond it in an autonomy of perception and judgment.
Trilling, Lionel

4.
Art is the most passionate orgy within man's grasp.
Dubuffet, Jean

5.
The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure
Baryshnikov, Mikhail

6.
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)

7.
The function of art is to make that understood which in the form of argument would be incomprehensible.
Brancusi, Constantin

8.
The martyr sacrifices themselves entirely in vain. Or rather not in vain; for they make the selfish more selfish, the lazy more lazy, the narrow narrower.
Nightingale, Florence

9.
One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
Cocteau, Jean

10.
One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

11.
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

12.
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
Paul Gauguin

13.
The way of the world is, to praise dead saints, and persecute living ones.
Howe, Nathaniel

14.
Art is parasitic on life, just as criticism is parasitic on art.
Tynan, Kenneth

15.
The great artist is a slave to his ideals.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

16.
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion --I have shuddered at it. I shudder no more --I could be martyred for my religion --Love is my religion --I could die for that.
Keats, John

17.
The creative artist seems to be almost the only kind of man that you could never meet on neutral ground. You can only meet him as an artist. He sees nothing objectively because his own ego is always in the foreground of every picture.
Chandler, Raymond

18.
Each of the arts whose office is to refine, purify, adorn, embellish and grace life is under the patronage of a muse, no god being found worthy to preside over them.
Farnham, Eliza

19.
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

20.
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
Joseph Chilton Pearce

21.
The creation of art is not the fulfillment of a need but the creation of a need. The world never needed Beethoven's Fifth Symphony until he created it. Now we could not live without it.
Louis I Kahn

22.
Great art is the contempt of a great man for small art.

23.
Labor is the beginning, the middle, and the end of art.

24.
O, had I but followed the arts!
Shakespeare, William

25.
The powerful play goes on -- and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?

26.
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

27.
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

28.
Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.
Yu Cao

29.
The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel.
Piet Mondrian

30.
In art as in love, instinct is enough.
France, Anatole

31.
Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.
Anderson, Lindsay

32.
Nature is inside art as its content, not outside as its model.
Frye, Northrop

33.
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

34.
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

35.
Not the glittering weapon fights the fight, but rather the hero's heart.
Proverb

36.
Man is always partial and is quite right to be. Even impartiality is partial.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

37.
Photography, fortunately, to me has not only been a profession but also a contact between people - to understand human nature and record, if possible, the best in each individual.
Nickolas Muray

38.
It is a weakness that I lead from my heart, and not my head?
Diana, Princess of Wales

39.
Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman.
Apollinaire, Guillaume

40.
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

41.
Art is the only thing that can go on mattering, once it has stopped hurting.
Bowen, Elizabeth

42.
Art is the symbol of the two noblest human efforts: to construct and to refrain from destruction.
Weil, Simone

43.
There is in fact no such thing as art for art's sake, art that stands above classes, art that is detached from or independent of politics. Proletarian literature and art are part of the whole proletarian revolutionary cause.
Zedong, Mao

44.
The idea of a mass audience was really an invention of the Industrial Revolution.
David Cronenberg

45.
Art need no longer be an account of past sensations. It can become the direct organization of more highly evolved sensations. It is a question of producing ourselves, not things that enslave us.
Debord, Guy

46.
What I dream of is an art of balance.
Henri Matisse

47.
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.

48.
Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.

49.
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

50.
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Renoir, Pierre Auguste
