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

Best Quotes about Art
The brain can be easy to buy, but the heart never comes to market.
Lowell, James Russell
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
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
Why should I go into details, we have nothing that is not perishable except what our hearts and our intellects endows us with.
Ovid
Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.
Cicero
If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come.
Proverb, Chinese
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
The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness, the rigidity, the regularity, the luster on every interior and exterior facet, of the crystal.
Breton, Andre
I believe that if it were left to artists to choose their own labels, most would choose none.
Ben Shahn
Only conservatives believe that subversion is still being carried on in the arts and that society is being shaken by it. Advanced art today is no longer a cause --it contains no moral imperative. There is no virtue in clinging to principles and standards, no vice in selling or in selling out.
Rosenberg, Harold
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
Art is the only thing that can go on mattering, once it has stopped hurting.
Bowen, Elizabeth
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.
Art is the most passionate orgy within man's grasp.
Dubuffet, Jean
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
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
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
What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real.
Tagore, Rabindranath
The artist is the opposite of the politically minded individual, the opposite of the reformer, the opposite of the idealist. The artist does not tinker with the universe; he recreates it out of his own experience and understanding of life.
Miller, Henry
Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.
George Tooker
Much of modern art is devoted to lowering the threshold of what is terrible. By getting us used to what, formerly, we could not bear to see or hear, because it was too shocking, painful, or embarrassing, art changes morals.
Sontag, Susan
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
Great art is the contempt of a great man for small art.
Art never improves, but the material of art is never quite the same.
Eliot, T. S.
The powerful play goes on -- and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?
The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.
Pope, Alexander
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
Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic.
Ambrose Bierce
There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.
Pablo Picasso
The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.
Eliot, T. S.
Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
Wright, Frank Lloyd
A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind.
Ionesco, Eugene
You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own.
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Crowley, Aleister
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
What is art but a way of seeing?
Berger, Thomas
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
The artist is a member of the leisured classes who cannot pay for his leisure.
Connolly, Cyril
Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity, the dread of doing what has been done before.
Edith Wharton
Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.
Baruch, Bernard M.
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
If I didn't start painting, I would have raised chickens.
Moses, Grandma
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Walt Whitman
The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.
Mailer, Norman
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.
If that's art, I'm a Hottentot!
Truman, Harry S
I am an artist I am here to live out loud.
Zola, Emile
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
I will soon be going out to shape all the singing tomorrows.
Peri, Gabriel
