Best Quotes about Art
Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.
Miller, Henry
Feminist art is not some tiny creek running off the great river of real art. It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it joy?
Dworkin, Andrea
Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.
Riding, Laura
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
Warhol, Andy
Labor is the beginning, the middle, and the end of art.
In art as in love, instinct is enough.
France, Anatole
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
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
What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, their industry.
Ruskin, John
Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.
Adorno, Theodor W.
The object of art is to give life a shape. [Midsummer Nights Dream]
Shakespeare, William
Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.
Anderson, Lindsay
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.
Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.
Barzun, Jacques
Great art is the contempt of a great man for small art.
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
Paul Gauguin
Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood... will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.
Gandhi, Indira
Fortunately art is a community effort --a small but select community living in a spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the flesh.
Ginsberg, Allen
Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
Wright, Frank Lloyd
The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.
Franklin, Benjamin
Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood -- never.
Camus, Albert
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
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
Contrary to popular belief an artist is never ahead of his time, but most people are far behind theirs.
Varese, Edward
I'm still an artist. I'm never gonna do a shit movie, because I've got my modeling to support me.
Jovovich, Milla
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
Roosevelt, Theodore
As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn't make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting -- the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.
Bellow, Saul
Nature is inside art as its content, not outside as its model.
Frye, Northrop
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
Joseph Chilton Pearce
No manager ever won no ballgames.
Anderson, Sparky
It is either easy or impossible.
Dali, Salvador
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
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the house of entertainment.
Bible
Art is the human disposition of sensible or intelligible matter for an esthetic end.
Joyce, James
Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.
Churchill, Winston
The primary distinction of the artist is that he must actively cultivate that state which most men, necessarily, must avoid: the state of being alone.
Baldwin, James
The torments of martyrdom are probably most keenly felt by the bystanders.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
What better way to prove that you understand a subject than to make money out of it?
Rosenberg, Harold
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
Wherever art appears, life disappears.
Picabia, Francis
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise
The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Chopra, Deepak
What ever purifies the heart also fortifies it.
Blair, Hugh
Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves they have a better idea.
Ciardi, John
The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
No art can be noble which is incapable of expressing thought, and no art is capable of expressing thought which does not change.
Ruskin, John
What I dream of is an art of balance.
Henri Matisse
Many bad artists will tell you that art is life. There's a subtle difference however. You can turn your back on art
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
Art is the signature of civilizations.
Sills, Beverly
