Best Quotes about Art

1.
Art is the most passionate orgy within man's grasp.
Dubuffet, Jean

2.
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.

3.
The public history of modern art is the story of conventional people not knowing what they are dealing with.
Motherwell, Robert

4.
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

5.
I don't believe in total freedom for the artist. Left on his own, free to do anything he likes, the artist ends up doing nothing at all. If there's one thing that's dangerous for an artist, it's precisely this question of total freedom, waiting for inspiration and all the rest of it.
Federico Fellini

6.
Were art to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

7.
If the wolf had ever come to our back door, he'd have had to bring a picnic lunch.
Anderson, Bill

8.
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

9.
Making social comment is an artificial place for an artist to start from. If an artist is touched by some social condition, what the artist creates will reflect that, but you can't force it.
Lewitzky, Bella

10.
The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel.
Piet Mondrian

11.
Their is a road from the eye to heart that does not go through the intellect.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

12.
Creative work is play. It is free speculation using materials of one's chosen form.
Stephen Nachmanovitch

13.
Nothing right can be accomplished in art without enthusiasm.
Schumann, Robert

14.
Technology adds nothing to art. Two thousand years ago, I could tell you a story, and at any point during the story I could stop, and ask, Now do you want the hero to be kidnapped, or not? But that would, of course, have ruined the story. Part of the experience of being entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision.
Penn Jillette

15.
Art is the human disposition of sensible or intelligible matter for an esthetic end.
Joyce, James

16.
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

17.
Art has an enemy called ignorance.
Johnson, Ben

18.
The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.
Eliot, T. S.

19.
Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence. If nobody, including the artist, acknowledges art as a means of knowing the world, then art is relegated to a kind of rumpus room of the mind and the irresponsibility of the artist and the irrelevance of art to actual living becomes part and parcel of the practice of art.
Carter, Angela

20.
If that's art, I'm a Hottentot!
Truman, Harry S

21.
Every artist writes his own autobiography.
Ellis, Havelock

22.
Had we never lov'd sae kindly, Had we never lov'd sae blindly, Never met -- or never parted -- we had never been broken-hearted.
Burns, Robert

23.
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
Jacob, Max

24.
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

25.
Modern pictures are, no doubt, delightful to look at. At least, some of them are. But they are quite impossible to live with; they are too clever, too assertive, too intellectual. Their meaning is too obvious, and their method too clearly defined. One
Wilde, Oscar

26.
Art is the only thing that can go on mattering, once it has stopped hurting.
Bowen, Elizabeth

27.
Doubt obscures the true vision of the heart.

28.
The function of art is to make that understood which in the form of argument would be incomprehensible.
Brancusi, Constantin

29.
Art is skill, that is the first meaning of the word.
Gill, Eric

30.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the house of entertainment.
Bible

31.
Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.
Baruch, Bernard M.

32.
One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

33.
What is art but a way of seeing?
Berger, Thomas

34.
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

35.
The True Artist has the planet for his pedestal; the adventurer, after years of strife, has nothing broader than his shoes.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

36.
The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Chopra, Deepak

37.
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

38.
There are in every generation those who shrink from the ultimate sacrifice, but there are in every generation those who make it with joy and laughter and these are the salt of the generations.
Pearse, Patrick Henry

39.
Bad artists always admire each other's work. They call it being large-minded and free from prejudice. But a truly great artist cannot conceive of life being shown, or beauty fashioned, under any conditions other than those he has selected.
Wilde, Oscar

40.
All art is an imitation of nature.
Seneca

41.
The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences.
Beecher, Henry Ward

42.
The greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form, the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public. The conventional is uncritically enjoyed, and the truly new is criticized with aversion.
Benjamin, Walter

43.
What I dream of is an art of balance.
Henri Matisse

44.
It is the cause, not the death that makes the martyr.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

45.
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

46.
At every party there are two kinds of people -- those who want to go home and those who don't. The trouble is, they are usually married to each other.
Landers, Ann

47.
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

48.
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

49.
There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.
Frost, Robert

50.
I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
Kennedy, John F.
