Best Quotes about Art
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin
Advice from a veteran trapeze performer: Throw your heart over the bars and your body will follow.
The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world. In this long vigil he often has to vary his methods of stimulation; but in this long vigil he is also himself striving against a continual tendency to sleep.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
If that's art, I'm a Hottentot!
Truman, Harry S
In art there are tears that lie too deep for thought.
Kronenberger, Louis
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.
G. K. Chesterton
It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters.
Holyfield, Evander
Personality is everything in art and poetry.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
By the time a partnership dissolves, it has dissolved.
Updike, John
I never spend more than one hour in a gallery. That is as long as one's power of appreciation persists.
W. Somerset Maugham
Art is the symbol of the two noblest human efforts: to construct and to refrain from destruction.
Weil, Simone
No sheath shall hold what finds its home in flesh.
Proverb
Life isn't long enough for love and art.
W. Somerset Maugham
Each of the arts whose office is to refine, purify, adorn, embellish and grace life is under the patronage of a muse, no god being found worthy to preside over them.
Farnham, Eliza
Art has never been made while thinking of art.
Niko Stumpo
Not even the visionary or mystical experience ever lasts very long. It is for art to capture that experience, to offer it to, in the case of literature, its readers; to be, for a secular, materialist culture, some sort of replacement for what the love of god offers in the world of faith.
Rushdie, Salman
One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
With an apple I will astonish Paris.
Cezanne, Paul
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
Warhol, Andy
I am more afraid of my own heart than the Pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great Pope, Self.
Luther, Martin
I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscles can split a shield and even destroy life itself but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of man. And until I master this act I will remain no more than a peddler in the marketplace. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on who I call can defend upon its force... my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest day.
Mandino, Og
If we keep an open mind, too much is likely to fall into it.
Barney, Natalie Clifford
Let each man exercise the art he knows.
Aristophanes
For us artists there waits the joyous compromise through art with all that wounded or defeated us in daily life; in this way, not to evade destiny, as the ordinary people try to do, but to fulfil it in its true potential --the imagination.
Durrell, Lawrence
This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.
Dali, Salvador
Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.
Godard, Jean-Luc
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong
Is there not an art, a music, and a stream of words that shalt be life, the acknowledged voice of life?
Wordsworth, William
The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.
Jackson Pollock
Art is on the side of the oppressed. Think before you shudder at the simplistic dictum and its heretical definition of the freedom of art. For if art is freedom of the spirit, how can it exist within the oppressors?
Edith Wharton
Every artist writes his own autobiography.
Ellis, Havelock
Labor is the beginning, the middle, and the end of art.
Martyrdom does not end something, it only a beginning.
Gandhi, Indira
A primary function of art and thought is to liberate the individual from the tyranny of his culture in the environmental sense and to permit him to stand beyond it in an autonomy of perception and judgment.
Trilling, Lionel
Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Capp, Al
Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation.
Davis, Angela Y.
What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, their industry.
Ruskin, John
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
Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.
Sand, George
A frenzied passion for art is a canker that devours everything else.
Baudelaire, Charles
The great artist is a slave to his ideals.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.
Paz, Octavio
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Walt Whitman
