Art the end result of perception, wisdom, intelligence, discipline, hard work, passion, luck, accident, and coincidence.

Best Quotes about Art
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
Jacob, Max
Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.
Picasso, Pablo
What ever purifies the heart also fortifies it.
Blair, Hugh
Twentieth-century art may start with nothing, but it flourishes by virtue of its belief in itself, in the possibility of control over what seems essentially uncontrollable, in the coherence of the inchoate, and in its ability to create its own values.
Alvarez, A.
The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it's dead for you.
Wilson, Robert
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
Art the end result of perception, wisdom, intelligence, discipline, hard work, passion, luck, accident, and coincidence.
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
Not even the visionary or mystical experience ever lasts very long. It is for art to capture that experience, to offer it to, in the case of literature, its readers; to be, for a secular, materialist culture, some sort of replacement for what the love of god offers in the world of faith.
Rushdie, Salman
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.
Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.
Miller, Henry
Art is skill, that is the first meaning of the word.
Gill, Eric
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
The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world. In this long vigil he often has to vary his methods of stimulation; but in this long vigil he is also himself striving against a continual tendency to sleep.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
The public history of modern art is the story of conventional people not knowing what they are dealing with.
Motherwell, Robert
I have joined my heart to thee: all that exists are thou. O Lord, beloved of my heart, thou art the home of all; where indeed is the heart in which thou dost not dwell?
Jafar
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin
Enjoyed it! One more drink and I'd have been under the host.
Parker, Dorothy
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 best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
Keller, Helen
Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman.
Apollinaire, Guillaume
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech.
Simonides
The heart is the best reflective thinker.
Phillips, Wendell
The biggest problem with every art is by the use of appearance to create a loftier reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
There is nothing enduring in life for a women except what she builds in a man's heart.
Anderson, Judith
Art is the only thing that can go on mattering, once it has stopped hurting.
Bowen, Elizabeth
The first mistake of Art is to assume that it's serious.
Bangs, Lester
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
Roosevelt, Theodore
Art is a reality, not a definition; inasmuch as it approaches a reality, it approaches perfection, and inasmuch as it approaches a mere definition, it is imperfect and untrue.
Haydon, Benjamin
The more horrifying this world becomes, the more art becomes abstract.
Klee, Paul
The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure
Baryshnikov, Mikhail
If the Revolution has the right to destroy bridges and art monuments whenever necessary, it will stop still less from laying its hand on any tendency in art which, no matter how great its achievement in form, threatens to disintegrate the revolutionary environment or to arouse the internal forces of the Revolution, that is, the proletariat, the peasantry and the intelligentsia, to a hostile opposition to one another. Our standard is, clearly, political, imperative and intolerant.
Trotsky, Leon
Nature is inside art as its content, not outside as its model.
Frye, Northrop
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
Andre Gide
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong
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
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
Any artist should be grateful for a na?ve grace which puts him beyond the need to reason elaborately.
Bellow, Saul
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
Camus, Albert
Within your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go.
Driscoll, Louise
The artist is the child of his time; but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favorite.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
The heart that truly loves never forgets.
Proverb
If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come.
Proverb, Chinese
In art, one idea is as good as another. If one takes the idea of trembling, for instance, all of a sudden most art starts to tremble. Michelangelo starts to tremble. El Greco starts to tremble. All the Impressionists start to tremble.
Kooning, Willem De
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
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker
The artist must conceive with warmth yet execute with coolness.
Winkelmann
No human beings more dangerous than those who have suffered for a belief: the great persecutors are recruited from the martyrs not quite beheaded. Far from diminishing the appetite for power, suffering exasperates it.
Cioran, E. M.
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.
Poe, Edgar Allan
In any society, the artist has a responsibility. His effectiveness is certainly limited and a painter or writer cannot change the world. But they can keep an essential margin of non-conformity alive. Thanks to them the powerful can never affirm that everyone agrees with their acts. That small difference is important.
Bunuel, Luis
