Art

Contrary to popular belief an artist is never ahead of his time, but most people are far behind theirs.
- Varese, Edward
Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
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

2.
What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.
Paz, Octavio

3.
What ever purifies the heart also fortifies it.
Blair, Hugh

4.
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.

5.
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
Pablo Picasso

6.
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

7.
Every artist writes his own autobiography.
Ellis, Havelock

8.
As a general truth, it is safe to say that any picture that produces a moral impression is a bad picture.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De

9.
In every veil you see, the Divine Beauty is concealed, making every heart a slave to him. In love to him the heart finds its life; in desire for him the soul finds its happiness. The heart which loves a fair one here, though it knows it not, is really his lover.
Jami

10.
Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.
Baruch, Bernard M.

11.
Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.
Novalis

12.
By the time a partnership dissolves, it has dissolved.
Updike, John

13.
There must be hearts which know the depths of our being, and swear by us, even when the whole world forsakes us.
Gutzkow

14.
No manager ever won no ballgames.
Anderson, Sparky

15.
The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.
Schumann, Robert

16.
All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life.
M. C. Richards

17.
An artist is a creature driven by demons. He doesn't know why they choose him and he's usually too busy to wonder why.
Faulkner, William

18.
Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity, the dread of doing what has been done before.
Edith Wharton

19.
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

20.
The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.
Pope, Alexander

21.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the house of entertainment.
Bible

22.
O, had I but followed the arts!
Shakespeare, William

23.
As the twentieth century ends, commerce and culture are coming closer together. The distinction between life and art has been eroded by fifty years of enhanced communications, ever-improving reproduction technologies and increasing wealth.
Bayley, Stephen

24.
I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need. [when asked how he managed to make his remarkable statues.]
Rodin, Auguste

25.
What is art but life upon the larger scale, the higher. When, graduating up in a spiral line of still expanding and ascending gyres, it pushes toward the intense significance of all things, hungry for the infinite?
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

26.
In free society art is not a weapon. Artists are not engineers of the soul.
Kennedy, John F.

27.
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

28.
Art is the signature of civilizations.
Sills, Beverly

29.
In order for the artist to have a world to express he must first be situated in this world, oppressed or oppressing, resigned or rebellious, a man among men.
Beauvoir, Simone De

30.
Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
Einstein, Albert

31.
Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.
Miller, Henry

32.
An artist must be a reactionary. He has to stand out against the tenor of the age and not go flopping along.
Waugh, Evelyn

33.
Art is man's expression of his joy in labor.
Morris, William

34.
Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

35.
I am an artist I am here to live out loud.
Zola, Emile

36.
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

37.
On with the dance! let joy be unconfined; no sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet to chase the glowing hours with flying feet.
Gordon, George

38.
Ads are the cave art of the twentieth century.
Mcluhan, Marshall

39.
Good art however immoral is wholly a thing of virtue. Good art can NOT be immoral. By good art I mean art that bears true witness, I mean the art that is most precise.
Pound, Ezra

40.
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

41.
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.

42.
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

43.
I never spend more than one hour in a gallery. That is as long as one's power of appreciation persists.
W. Somerset Maugham

44.
There is nothing enduring in life for a women except what she builds in a man's heart.
Anderson, Judith

45.
Art the end result of perception, wisdom, intelligence, discipline, hard work, passion, luck, accident, and coincidence.

46.
Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.
Cicero

47.
I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it -- on the inside.

48.
It is not in life, but in art that self-fulfillment is to be found.
Woodberry, George E.

49.
The function of art is to make that understood which in the form of argument would be incomprehensible.
Brancusi, Constantin

50.
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
