Best Quotes about Art

1.
Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.
Novalis

2.
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos

3.
This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.
Wolfe, Thomas

4.
Martyrdom does not end something, it only a beginning.
Gandhi, Indira

5.
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

6.
Balance is the enemy of art.
Eyre, Richard

7.
Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.
Cather, Willa

8.
Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.
Miller, Henry

9.
Drink, and dance and laugh and lie, love the reeling midnight through, for tomorrow we shall die! (But, alas, we never do.)
Parker, Dorothy

10.
If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently and replace it tenderly in its Master's presence. And even if you did nothing during the whole ofyour hour but bring your heart back and place it again in Our Lord's presence, though it went away every time you brought it back, your hour would be very well employed.
Francis De Sales, St.

11.
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.
Picasso, Pablo

12.
Art is the only thing that can go on mattering, once it has stopped hurting.
Bowen, Elizabeth

13.
There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted.
Matisse, Henri

14.
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

15.
Art is an absolute mistress; she will not be coquetted with or slighted; she requires the most entire self-devotion, and she repays with grand triumphs.
Cushman, Charlotte Saunders

16.
In other countries, art and literature are left to a lot of shabby bums living in attics and feeding on booze and spaghetti, but in America the successful writer or picture-painter is indistinguishable from any other decent businessman.
Lewis, Sinclair

17.
Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value-judgments. An artist recreates those aspects of reality which represent his fundamental view of man's nature.
Rand, Ayn

18.
Art is skill, that is the first meaning of the word.
Gill, Eric

19.
I never spend more than one hour in a gallery. That is as long as one's power of appreciation persists.
W. Somerset Maugham

20.
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

21.
Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic.
Ambrose Bierce

22.
Whether you call my heart affectionate, or you call it womanish: I confess, that to my misfortune, it is soft.
Ovid

23.
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

24.
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
Eugene Delacroix

25.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the house of entertainment.
Bible

26.
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

27.
The idea of a mass audience was really an invention of the Industrial Revolution.
David Cronenberg

28.
I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.
Frida Kahlo

29.
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
Roosevelt, Theodore

30.
If I didn't start painting, I would have raised chickens.
Moses, Grandma

31.
If that's art, I'm a Hottentot!
Truman, Harry S

32.
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

33.
Some people carry their heart in their head and some carry their head in their heart. The trick is to keep them apart yet working together.
Hare, David

34.
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.

35.
Whether a party can have much success without a woman present I must ask others to decide, but one thing is certain, no party is any fun unless seasoned with folly.
Erasmus, Desiderius

36.
It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now.
Ginsberg, Allen

37.
Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves they have a better idea.
Ciardi, John

38.
The contemporary thing in art and literature is the thing which doesn't make enough difference to the people of that generation so that they can accept it or reject it.
Stein, Gertrude

39.
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
Pascal, Blaise

40.
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

41.
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

42.
It is not in life, but in art that self-fulfillment is to be found.
Woodberry, George E.

43.
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

44.
The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.
Berle, Adolf

45.
I am an artist I am here to live out loud.
Zola, Emile

46.
What of us lies in the hearts of others is our truest and deepest self.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von

47.
Art is a jealous mistress; and if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

48.
The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it's dead for you.
Wilson, Robert

49.
The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel.
Piet Mondrian

50.
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
Joseph Chilton Pearce
